| Day 2 |
|
| Radiometry and photometry (focus on photometry) |
Basic theory introduction, using ZEAMX to demonstrate the basic law and relationships, i.e., irradiance produced by diffuse source (how to model diffuse source), Cosine forth rule – it is often faced in optical design and testing. Basic theory about the cosine -4th law, using ZEMAX to elaborate the law. |

Focus on reflector design, key parameters to describe luminance; lighting source modeling, including how to use measured source and ProSource; complicated reflector modeling; how to optimize reflector (illumination system in more general) using ZEMAX. |
| LED |
LED source modeling, view angle and luminous intensity simulation in ZEMAX, basic theory between view angle and luminous intensity; LED lens design; |
