Riassunto

This book brings together experts in the field who present material on a number of important and growing topics including lighting, displays, solar concentrators. The first chapter provides an overview of the field of nonimagin and illumination optics. Included in this chapter are terminology, units, definitions, and descriptions of the optical components used in illumination systems. The next two chapters provide material within the theoretical domain, including etendue, etendue squeezing, and the skew invariant. The remaining chapters focus on growing applications.

This entire field of nonimaging optics is an evolving field, and the editor plans to update the technological progress every two to three years. The editor, John Koshel, is one of the most prominent leading experts in this field, and he is the right expert to perform the task.

Dalla quarta di copertina

A rare and valuable compendium of nonimaging/illumination optics written by industry experts

Within the past decade, the field of optical design has included the subfield of illumination design. Visual illumination systems include displays, lighting, and the illuminator for photocopiers. Non-visual illumination systems include solar concentrators, optical laser pump cavities, and a number of optical sensor applications. With a main focus on the use of nonimaging optics in illumination systems, this informative book introduces a number of topics that have received little coverage in previously existing literature while expanding on the fundamental limits.

Illumination Engineering: Design with Nonimaging Optics offers up an overview of the field of nonimaging and illumination optics and includes terminology, units, definitions, and descriptions of the optical components used in illumination systems. Editor R. John Koshel &; a prominent figure in this field &; provides material within the theoretical domain, including étendue, étendue squeezing, and the skew invariant while focusing on a growing number of applications.

Presenting a wealth of material in an increasingly important area, this book provides:

&; Cutting-edge material in the field of nonimaging and illumination optics from experts within the field

&; A wide number of topics for practicing engineers and scientists to expand their knowledge into subfields within nonimaging and illumination optics

&; Extensive references that readers can employ to expand upon the presentations herein

Illumination Engineering: Design with Nonimaging Optics is an ideal source for practicing illumination engineers and scientists, and graduate-level electrical engineering/optical engineering students.
