Julius Muschaweck | JMO GmbH
Optical Engineering – Illumination
SUPER NICHE SUPERPOWER:
LED Whisperer & Colorimetry Pro
Other Expertise
- Optical design for illumination (including LED primary and secondary optics, light guides, spotlights, surgery microscope lights, customized illumination for machine vision system needs, automotive headlamps, outdoor…& more!)
- Colorimetry (how to drive multi-color LED engines to achieve a desired brightness and color point with maximum efficacy and/or color rendering)
- First principle based feasibility analysis (Is there enough light? Is there enough space? Will fundamental laws of optics allow – or forbid – that specs can be met, given size and power constraints?)
- Optical Modeling (how to simplify, but not over-simplify in simulation models)
- Computer programming (compute things the simulation software won’t compute such as: user-defined components for LightTools, colorimetry toolbox, analyzing and modifying ray files… etc.)
Industry Specialties
General Illumination (Residential and Commercial Lighting/Luminaires), Consumer Electronics, Medical, Automotive
Meeting Type
Zoom
For Companies
Schedule a call to talk through kicking-off an LED illumination design including:
- Defining meaningful illumination specs
- Find out if your specs are reasonable under the size/power constraints
- Learning which optical design architectures are possible
- Choosing LEDs
For Other Optical Engineers
Chat with Julius if you need help understanding:
- what etendue really is, and why it’s so useful
- how to model light sources and optical systems with extreme detail in LightTools
- which optical materials to select for a certain application
Other Q’s?
Julius can tell you all about LEDs (he worked many years at OSRAM).
You can also call him to learn about colorimetry and renewable energies.
