Welcome

Welcome to the Illumination Design, Optimization, and Tolerancing (iDOT) group.  The group predominately looks at nonimaging/illumination projects – from theory to systems.

Theory/modeling topics include: ray tracing methods, using etendue, optimization and tolerancing methods, freeform optic design, lit-appearance modeling, …

Systems include: solid-state lighting (illumination of art), solar energy (solar water), spectroscopy (nonimaging spectrometry), …

The group is interested in all aspects of nonimaging/illumination optics.
