Introduction to Nonimaging Optics (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book covers the theoretical foundations and design methods of nonimaging optics, as well as key concepts from related fields. The second edition features new material on the advantages of nonimaging optics, wavefronts for a prescribed output, infinitesimal étendue optics, Köhler optics, color mixing, the simultaneous multiple surface (SMS) design method in 3-D, integral invariants, and more. It contains 21 chapters, 24 fully worked and several other examples, and 1,000+ illustrations, including photos of real devices. It addresses applications from solar energy concentration to illumination.

Autorenporträt

Julio Chaves completed his undergraduate studies in physics engineering at the Higher Technical Institute, Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal in 1995. He received his Ph.D in physics from the same institute. Dr. Chaves did postgraduate work at the Solar Energy Institute, Technical University of Madrid, Spain in 2002, and in 2003, he joined Light Prescriptions Innovators (LPI), LLC, Altadena, California, USA. In 2006, he moved back to Madrid, Spain, and has been working with LPI since. Dr. Chaves developed the new concepts of stepped flow-line optics and ideal light confinement by caustics (caustics as flow lines). He is the co-inventor of several patents and the coauthor of many papers in the field of nonimaging optics. He also participated in the early development of the simultaneous multiple surface design method in three-dimensional geometry.
