Freeform design of a two-reflector system to collimate and shape a point source distribution

We present a method to design a freeform two-reflector system to collimate and shape a beam from a point source. An important generalization compared to previous research is that the output beam can be in an arbitrary direction. The design problem is based on a generalized Monge-Ampère equation. Thi...
