The time domain response of the fields in the vicinity of an axial caustic is calculated. The idealized model is a spherical concentric cavity with perfectly conducting walls. It is shown that the transient field, in the vicinity of the antipode of a dipole source, exhibits a strong distortion in the pulse shape.
