The authors obtain the ray optics limit in a new way by using as a key step the rewriting of the Maxwell equations in Schrödinger form and proving an Egorov theorem. This choice allows them to prove a ray optics limit for a class of observables that includes local averages of the field energy, the Poynting vector, and components of the Maxwell stress tensor.
