Freeform Optics for LED Packages and Applications

This book introduces the freeform optics for LED packages andapplications, from new algorithms of freeform optics to detaileddesign methods and then to advanced optical designs and casesstudies. Many algorithms and designs of freeform optics areproposed systematically for the first time and there is no similarbook currently on the market. From this book, readers willhave an overall understanding of the application of freeformoptics, which is regarded to be one of the most powerful designmethods in non-imaging optics, for different LED applications.Moreover, readers will also obtain detailed algorithms and designmethods of freeform optics systematically in order to developadvanced optical designs for LED lighting. This book will be veryhelpful for enhancing the abilities of optical designs of LEDresearchers and engineers and accelerate the research anddevelopment of LED packages and applications.Also included are codes of fundamental freeform opticsalgorithms. With these opened codes, readers will be able togenerate points of freeform optics and construct lenses orreflectors much easier and more conveniently. Cases studies, including designs of freeform optics LED bulb, LED spotlight, LEDstreet light and LED BLU are also provided, enabling the reader toquicker learn and master the design skills of freeform optics.
