- Book Synopsis
- Unique guide offering a detailed and practical exploration of illumination optics from fundamentals to real-world applications Engineering Illumination Optics explores the field of illumination optics, focusing on the mathematical and physical calculations behind the design and their application in a wide variety of use cases. The book provides a solid knowledge of the radiometric foundation and of the fundamental concepts of illumination optics to empower the reader to develop a deep understanding of the interaction of light sources with dedicated optics. It covers the necessary calculation methods and formulas as a basis for efficient illumination design. This book helps readers avoid costly design errors by focusing on the essentials and quick estimates to ensure they can perform precise calculations and judge their accuracy. Numerous exercises based on real-world problems with detailed solutions make the book an ideal self-study tool and reference to hone readers' practical skills. Written by a team of highly qualified authors, Engineering Illumination Optics includes information on sample topics including: Angles and solid angles, refraction, paraxial optics, laser beams, and conic sections Rays, etendue, light tubes, radiometry, black body and solar radiation, and spectral calculus, color, and vision Light sources, solar collection, astronomy, daylighting, horticulture lighting, light detection, projectors and stage lights, and headlamps Principles of optics and their application for the design process, covering predesign calculus, evaluation of datasheets and product specifications, and the according selection of suitable light sources Engineering Illumination Optics is an essential reference for optical engineers and designers in general and specialty lighting, in particular architectural, stage, and medical lighting, and horticulture, who are seeking to learn how to solve problems using fundamental principles and practical calculations. Advanced students in adjacent fields and physicists in industry will also find the book valuable.
