I’ve designed the optics for many illumination systems, including:
- LCoS/OLED/DLP display illumination
- Portable UVC systems for eradicating airborne SARS-CoV2 virus
- UV lamp illuminators to remove pathogens from blood
- Laser beam expanders
- High-power handheld laser illumination
- LED combiners and collimators
- Fiber source collimators and shapers
- TIR light guides
- Microscopy illumination
- Machine vision illumination
- SWIR reflectance system illumination
- Optical 3D printer
- NIR and VIS ophthalmoscope illumination
LED Array Collimator
I designed this example LED collimator for an Osram SoleriQ P9 LED array. It’s solid plastic with a cylindrical recess where the LED is inserted. The rays are either focused by a small lens at the end of the recess or totally internally reflected by the outer boundary.
Lenslet Array Beam Combiner
I designed this hexagonal lenslet array and lens to combine an array of sources.
