Optical design
Review the service and its applications. Scope, deliverables and fees are agreed following discussion.
Discuss the service →Optical design
Use photometric distributions and ray tracing to translate the target light distribution into an optical design.
See the light path and the design variables
Microstructure models and ray tracing analyse how light travels; photometric data compares luminous intensity in different directions.
Compare different beam distributions
These photometric plots are from previous work. Angle labels are retained from the original figures.
First define where the light is needed
Confirm the light source, installation position, target distribution and viewing conditions to establish comparable inputs.
Then compare optical structures
Record differences and design trade-offs between lens, reflector and microstructure geometries.
Finally compare against samples
Compare simulations with agreed sample measurements and examine differences caused by materials, the light source and assembly.
What you can receive
Target distribution and assessment conditions, optical models and interface requirements, simulation comparisons and sample verification requirements. The illustrated design work does not replace measurements for a new project.
Bring your project requirements
Provide the light source, target distribution, installation conditions and available space. Scope is agreed by optical system, configuration count, iteration rounds and verification responsibilities.
