A practical introduction to state-of-the-art freeform optics design for LED packages and applications By affording designers the freedom to create complex, aspherical optical surfaces with minimal or no aberrations, freeform design transcends the constraints imposed by hundreds of years of optics design and fabrication. Combining unprecedented design freedom with precise light irradiation control, freeform optics design is also revolutionizing the design and manufacture of high quality LED lighting. The first and only book of its kind, Freeform Optics for LED Packages and Applications helps put readers at the forefront of the freeform optics revolution. Designed to function as both an authoritative review of the current state of the industry and a practical introduction to advanced optical design for LED lighting, this book makes learning and mastering freeform optics skills simpler and easier than ever before with: * Real-world examples and case studies systematically describing an array of algorithms and designs--from new freeform algorithms to design methods to advanced optical designs * Coding for all freeform optics algorithms covered--makes it easier and more convenient to start developing points of freeform optics and construct lenses or reflectors, right away * Case studies of a range of products, including designs for a freeform optics LED bulb, an LED spotlight, LED street lights, an LED BLU, and many more Freeform Optics for LED Packages and Applications is must-reading for optical design engineers and LED researchers, as well as advanced-level students with an interest in LED lighting. It is also an indispensable working resource design practitioners within the LED lighting industry.

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs), having superior characteristics such as high luminous efficiency, low power consumption, compact size, long lifetime, high reliability, and being environmentally friendly, have been widely accepted by the industry as the new-generation light source in the 21st century as well as the future developing trend in lighting technology, possessing great market potential. With increasing luminous efficiency (e.g., more than 300 lm/W in lab and 150 lm/W in market in 2014) and cost performance in recent years, LEDs have more and more applications in general and special lighting, such as LED indoor lighting, LED road lighting, LED backlighting for liquid crystal displays (LCDs), and LED automotive headlamps. The LED market is growing rapidly. Optical design, thermal management, and power supply are three key issues for LED lighting. With the development of LED lighting, high-quality LED lighting has attracted more and more attention from customers, which means that higher optical efficiency, more controllable light patterns, and higher spatial color uniformity will be needed for the optical design of LED packages and applications. Freeform optics is an emerging optical technology in LED lighting, with the advantages of having high design freedom and precise light irradiation control, and it provides a more promising way to realize high-quality LED lighting. In the next 5 years, with the development of LED chip and packaging technologies, the luminous efficiency of high-power white LEDs will reach a higher level, which will broaden the application markets of LEDs furthermore and also will change the lighting concepts in our lives. Moreover, people also will pay more attention to the quality of LED lighting. Therefore, more new algorithms of freeform optics and advanced optical design methods will be needed to meet the requirements of LED lighting in the future. Thus, a book discussing freeform optics for LED lighting is expected and needed by LED researchers and engineers at present.
This book will introduce the freeform optics for LED packages and applications, from new algorithms of freeform optics to detailed design methods and then to advanced optical designs and case studies. A series of basic freeform optics algorithms specialized for LED packages and applications will be introduced in detail in this book, such as circular symmetry, noncircular symmetry, point sources, extended sources, array illumination, and so on. Most algorithms have been validated by the industry. Many algorithms and designs will be proposed systematically for the first time in this book, and there is no similar book in the market yet. Moreover, besides these core algorithms, detailed and practical freeform lens design methods derived from these algorithms also will be introduced. Novel and advanced optical designs for various LED packages and applications will be introduced in detail, too, such as noncircularly symmetrical freeform lenses for LED road lighting, application-specific LED packaging (ASLP) integrated with petal-shaped freeform lenses for direct-lit large-scale LED backlighting, Fresnel freeform lenses for low-beam automotive LEDs, total internal reflection (TIR) freeform lenses for an LED pico-projector, and a freeform lens for high spatial color uniformity. Moreover, codes of fundamental freeform optics algorithms will be included as appendices.
Chapter 1 gives an introductory basic background in the area of LED packages and applications, especially the three key issues of optical design of LED lighting. Chapter 2 reviews existing major algorithms of freeform optics. Chapter 3 demonstrates a series of basic freeform optics algorithms and design methods specialized for LED packages and applications. Following chapters will apply these algorithms in specific LED packaging and applications, including ASLP in Chapter 4, LED indoor lighting in Chapter 5, LED road lighting in Chapter 6, LED backlighting for large-scale LCD displays in Chapter 7, LED automotive headlamps in Chapter 8, emerging LED applications in Chapter 9, and high spatial color uniformity of LED modules in Chapter 10.
From this book, readers can gain an overall understanding of the application of freeform optics, which is regarded as one of the
