abstract
We present a method for improving the efficiency and user experience of freeform illumination design with machine learning. By utilizing orthogonal polynomials to interface with artificial neural networks, we are able to generalize relationships between freeform surface shapes and design parameters. Then, by training the network to generalize the relationship between high-level design goals and final performance, we were able to transform what is traditionally a difficult and computationally intensive problem into a compact, user friendly form. The potential of the proposed method is demonstrated through the design of uniform square patterns from off-axis positions and rectangular patterns of tuneable aspect ratios and distances from the target.
