Abstract:
New optimization method for design of refractive optical elements with two free-form surfaces is presented. Algorithm of design consists of two parts: generation of initial approximation and the further optimization of outer surface parameters from condition of producing prescribed illuminance distribution. As an example the optical element generating uniformly illuminated rectangular region with angular sizes 60° × 40° with extended 1x1 mm Lambertian light source is computed. The light efficacy of optical element is about 88,5% and the relative root-mean-square error of generated illuminance distribution is less than 8,5 %.

Key words:
light emitting diode, free-form surface, optimization method, illuminance distribution, non-imaging optics, optical surface design.
