Maybe a silly question but is it possible to un-refract the light? If you put it through a different shape, could you get it back to its original state?

Should be possible.
Prayer and electroshock therapy seem to be the most promising methods.

ignoring attenuation due to absorption and scattering, yeah, a prism is a reciprocal device

Yes it is possible. Defraction through a lens leads to chromatic aberration, you can then use more lens to remove it. It's more happens in multi-lens high end cameras.

Like in your picture? That's a meme, it makes a photonic explosion DO NOT try it

Original state no, but collimating and focusing lens does more or less what the pic shows

under ideal theoretical circumstances, yes, as explained by several anons here.

Original state? No.
Close to original state? Sure.

A bit unrelated, but is there a nice book on geometrical optics?
