Abstract

For the 6th time, the International Optical Design Conference (IODC) included an Illumination Design contest. This year, the contest involved designing the optics to couple flux from a cone to a disk using an artificial ‘magic’ material featuring extreme chromatic dispersion where the index of refraction varied between 2 at 486nm and 0.5 at 656nm. The objective of the challenge was to maximize the coupled flux. The winning solution was provided by John Hygelund.
