Illuminating design with freeform optics
How optical designers can realise the benefits of using freeform optical elements from the R&D stage when designing for illumination applications
How optical designers can realise the benefits of using freeform optical elements from the R&D stage when designing for illumination applications
Freeform optical elements give optical designers new and exciting degrees of freedom when it comes to designing optics for illumination applications. These same freeform elements can also add a new layer of complexity to the design process due to added degrees of freedom.
