Abstract On a time-oriented Lorentzian manifold (M, g) with nonempty boundary satisfying a convexity assumption, we show that the topological, differentiable, and conformal structure of suitable subsets S ⊂ M of sources is uniquely determined by measurements of the intersection of future light cones from points in S with a fixed open subset of the boundary of M; here, light rays are reflected at ∂M according to Snell’s law. Our proof is constructive, and allows for interior conjugate points as well as multiply reflected and self-intersecting light cones.
