Yes, it is possible to trap a single light ray in a polygon. > Mitchell, Zachary, Gregory Simon, and Xueying Zhao.

We construct a configuration of disjoint segment mirrors in the plane that traps a single light ray aperiodically, providing a negative solution to a conjecture of O’Rourke and Petrovici. We expand this to show that any finite number of rays from a source can be trapped aperiodically. To obtain a polygon, one would have to connect their disjoint segments into a path, but I think this would not be difficult. But it is not possible to trap light rays from a continuum of directions: > Dawson, RJ MacG, B. E. McDonald, J. Mycielski, and L. Pachter. "Light Traps." (1996).
