Our sources of information about nonimaging optics
Many papers about nonimaging optics focus on their application to solar collectors. These are normally published in the Solar Energy journal.
The International Society for Optical Engineering (SPIE) regulary organizes conferences on nonimaging optics.Papers from almost the entire “nonimaging community” are found in the proceedings of these conferences. Here are their full references linked to their abstracts :
- Nonimaging optics: maximum efficiency light transfer III, 10-11 July 1995, San Diego, California, (Proceedings / SPIE ; vol. 2538) ISBN 0-8194-1897-8
- Nonimaging optics: maximum-efficiency light transfer II, 12-13 July 1993, San Diego, California, (Proceedings / SPIE ; vol. 2016) ISBN 0-8194-1265-1
- Nonimaging optics: maximum efficiency light transfer, 23-24 July 1991, San Diego, California, (Proceedings / SPIE ; vol. 1528) ISBN 0-8194-0656-2
This book published in 1995 by the SPIE reprints many essential articles in the field :
- Roland Winston, ed., Selected papers on nonimaging optics, (SPIE milestone series ; vol. MS 106) ISBN 0-8194-1799-8
The nonimaging “Bible” is certainly the book:
- W. T. Welford, R. Winston, High collection nonimaging optics, Academic Press, San Diego, 1989, ISBN 0-12-742885-2
A good introduction to nonimaging optics:
- Roland Winston, Nonimaging Optics, Scientific American, 264(3), 1991
The Applied Optics journal regularly publishes articles in the field.
At the University of Chicago, a group led by R. Winston works in the field and maintains a WWW nonimaging optics page.
In France, the Centre d’Energétique at the Ecole des Mines de Paris designed efficient luminaires using nonimaging optics methods.
