Freeform Lens Design for Illumination with Different Luminance Intensities

Abstract

Ku Chin Lin

Mapping of equi-luminous fluxes from a point source through a freeform lens for illumination with different luminance intensities is studied. The freeform surface is associated with the mapping and the grids to design on a target plane. Relocation of the target grids designed for uniform illumination is proposed by comparing the grids with reference and desired ones for interpolation to achieve the desired illumination distribution. Target-grids relocation for rectangular illumination with vertical, horizontal, tilt, circular, ring and rectangular cut-off for two different luminance intensities is demonstrated. The target grids after relocation are smooth in distribution, and the lens with a smooth freeform surface is achieved. The adequacy of the proposed methodology is proved by simulation.
