Patent number: 8694287Abstract: An optical system including at least one light source, such as a LED source (10), and an optics (30) subjected to aging as a result of exposure to the light source (10) is designed by: defining an aging model for the optics (30), defining a thermal model for the light source (10, 100) as a spatial function representative of the temperature generated by the light source (10, 100), and defining the distance of the optics (30) from the light source (10) as a function of the aging model and the thermal model. The optical overall system (single or multiple reflector and lens) is finally optimised starting from the results achieved in the previous steps.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2009Date of Patent: April 8, 2014Assignee: OSRAM Gesellschaft mit beschrankter HaftungInventors: Simone Capeleto, Katrin Schroll, Simon Schwalenberg, Ulrich Streppel
