Аннотация:A new integrable system in an ellipse is introduced: the domain bounded by the ellipse is partitioned into subdomains by arcs of confocal quadrics, and each subdomain is filled by a medium with fixed constant coefficient of ‘optical’ density. The trajectory crossing an interface between media obeys the ‘cosine law’ of refraction. It is shown that such systems have an additional first integral.For two partitions of an ellipse into subdomains the level surfaces of the additional integral are examined in detail, as well as their bifurcations occurring in going over critical values of the integral
