Optical Engineering, 2010•spiedigitallibrary.orgWe describe an analytical and numerical method to design and optimize LED (light-emitting
diode) collimators. The optimization process is confirmed by optical simulations and
experimental measurements of a scaled prototype. The collimator's definitive geometry and
design parameters rely on the LED's emitting characteristics and the employed collimator
material. The resulting parabolic-elliptical-based collimator shows an optimum performance
and a compact structure with requirement for mirrored surfaces.
