Abstract:Background:
The equations of Monge–Ampère type which arise in geometric optics is used to design illumination lenses and mirrors. The optical design problem can be formulated as an inverse problem: determine an optical system consisting of reflector and/or refractor that converts a given light distribution of the source into a desired target light distribution. For two decades, the development of fast and reliable numerical design algorithms for the calculation of freeform surfaces for irradiance control in the… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
