Abstract

Recent advances in software and computer speeds have allowed for the reduction of prototyping and time to market for many illumination systems. This paper will address how software can significantly help the optical design in the task of designing and analyzing segmented reflectors. Segmented reflectors come in many different shapes and sizes. Therefore, the scope of this paper has been reduced to the discussion of MR16 (Metal Reflector 16/8" diameter) type reflector. MR16 reflectors have different shapes but nearly the same size (~1 ¾ deep by ~2″ in diameter). However, the ideas and principles presented should apply to other types of segmented reflector systems.
