Irradiance on a Cylindrical Surface

18.01.2011 , admin , FRED Knowledge Base 0

This knowledge base article describes a method for calculating the irradiance on a cylindrical surface using a lens edge as an example.  An embedded script is included in the example file which performs an r,θ mapping from the coordinate of a ray on the lens edge into a 2D ARN, accounting for the pixel area of the data grid on the cylindrical surface.
