Freeform lens design for LED collimating illumination.

چکیده
We present a simple freeform lens design method for an application to LED collimating illumination. The method is derived from a basic geometric-optics analysis and construction approach. By using this method, a highly collimating lens with LED chip size of 1.0 mm × 1.0 mm and optical simulation efficiency of 86.5% under a view angle of ± 5 deg is constructed. To verify the practical performance of the lens, a prototype of the collimator lens is also made, and an optical efficiency of 90.3% with a beam angle of 4.75 deg is measured.

Freeform LED lens for uniform illumination.
Light flux from LED must be redistributed to meet the needs of lighting in most cases, a new method is proposed for its secondary optic design. Based on refractive equation and energy conservation, a set of first-order partial differential equations which represent the characters of LED source and desired illumination were presented. The freeform lens was constructed by solving these equations ...
متن کاملEffect of manufacturing defects on optical performance of discontinuous freeform lenses.
Discontinuous freeform lens based secondary optics are essential to LED illumination systems. Surface roughness and smooth transition between two discrete sub-surfaces are two of the most common manufacturing defects existing in discontinuous freeform lenses. The effects of these two manufacturing defects on the optical performance of two discontinuous freeform lenses were investigated by compa...
متن کاملDesign and evaluation of illumination system for pocket projector using single element freeform optics with fly eye integrator
For a projection system, uniform illumination at image modulator area with highest possible collection efficiency is a necessary requirement. There are systems which are able to achieve this goal by using multiple optical elements for light collection and separate module for homogenization thus posing challenging situations during minimization of system form factor, optical mounting, alignment ...

In this paper, we used a freeform lens in a long-wave, un-cooled, refractive infrared (IR) thermal imager and present the design strategy and test results. This optical system is composed of only one freeform lens and several spheres. It can correct the distortion issue inherent to wide field-of-view systems more effectively, and achieve a better thermal imaging performance simultaneously compa...
متن کاملDesign, simulation, and quality evaluation of micro-optical freeform beam shapers at different illumination conditions.
A design method to generate thin micro-optical freeform (MOF) beam shapers by clipping or wrapping an original and much thicker freeform surface is provided. MOF elements are situated at the border between refractive and diffractive optical elements. The influence of parameters such as the clipping factor q, the peak-to-valley amplitude of the original surface, the design wavelength, and the sp...
