Controlling a ray bundle with a free-form reflector.
نویسنده
چکیده
The problem of controlling a single ray bundle with a single reflector is not generally solvable, but approximate solutions may often be found that are acceptable for applications. We introduce a new technique for finding such approximations and apply it to the design of a driver-side mirror for an automobile that has no blind spot and minimal distortion.

Free-form Reflector Design Using Differential Evolution Algorithm
NURBS surface representation, combined with Differential Evolution (DE), enables us to perform automated non-imaging reflector design. The overall result is a simple automated nonimaging reflector design technique and only a little data such as desired illuminance distribution and searching limits are needed. Merit functions specific to non-imaging reflector design are presented. Using differen...
متن کاملIdentification of Gas Accumulation Adjacent to the Gas Hydrate Bearing Zone by Inversion Utilizing AVO Attribute
The presence of gas hydrate and associated gas in the Makran Accretionary Prism, offshore Iran, has been confirmed by various seismic indicators, including the bottom-simulating reflector (BSR), amplitude blanking, and bright spot. The pre-stack analysis and the study of amplitude-variation-with-offset (AVO) attributes are the most reliable tools for semi-quantitative study of gas hydrate and f...
متن کاملTheoretical Analysis of Polarization Rotation angle in Dual Reflector Antenna
Because of special structure, a dual reflector antenna has beam rotation capability in azimuth and elevation directions. In this structure, the antenna beam can be placed in any point in the space by mechanical movement of twist reflector which it is the most important ability of the antenna. Due to the antenna structure, if the polarization of incident wave is linear, it is expected that the p...
متن کاملSolving the Monge-Ampère Equations for the Inverse Reflector Problem
The inverse reflector problem arises in geometrical nonimaging optics: Given a light source and a target, the question is how to design a reflecting free-form surface such that a desired light density distribution is generated on the target, e.g., a projected image on a screen. This optical problem can mathematically be understood as a problem of optimal transport and equivalently be expressed ...
متن کاملA Monge-Ampère-Solver for Free-Form Reflector Design
In this article we present a method for the design of fully free-form reflectors for illumination systems. We derive an elliptic partial differential equation of the Monge–Ampère type for the surface of a reflector that converts an arbitrary parallel beam of light into a desired intensity output pattern. The differential equation has an unusual boundary condition known as the transport boundary...
