Generating function approach for freeform two-reflector two-target system

\nWe discuss an inverse method to compute a freeform two-reflector two-target system. The optical path length constitutes an integral component and can be expressed in terms of position coordinates at the first target. The system is expressed in terms of a generating function, closed with energy balance and requires a sophisticated least-squares solver to compute the shapes of the reflectors. In a numerical example, we illustrate the algorithm’s capabilities to tackle even the most intricate light distributions.\n

Abstract

\nWe discuss an inverse method to compute a freeform two-reflector two-target system. The optical path length constitutes an integral component and can be expressed in terms of position coordinates at the first target. The system is expressed in terms of a generating function, closed with energy balance and requires a sophisticated least-squares solver to compute the shapes of the reflectors. In a numerical example, we illustrate the algorithm’s capabilities to tackle even the most intricate light distributions.\n
