Research on illumination uniformity of high-power LED array light source

Uniform illumination is one of the most important problem that must be solved in the application of high-power LED array. A numerical optimization algorithm, is applied to obtain the best LED array typesetting so that the light intensity of the target surface is evenly distributed. An evaluation function is set up through the standard deviation of the illuminance function, then the particle swarm optimization algorithm is utilized to optimize different arrays. Furthermore, the light intensity distribution is obtained by optical ray tracing method. Finally, a hybrid array is designed and the optical ray tracing method is applied to simulate the array. The simulation results, which is consistent with the traditional theoretical calculation, show that the algorithm introduced in this paper is reasonable and effective.
