Non-Isothermal Glass Moulding Of Complex Led Optics

The advantages of LED lighting, especially its energy efficiency and the long service life have led to a wide distribution of LED technology in the world. However, in order to make full use of the great potential that LED lighting offers, complex optics are required to distribute the emitted light from the LED efficiently. This research introduces a new replicative glass manufacturing approach, namely non-isothermal glass molding (NGM) in which glass preforms are reheated and moulded into its final shape.
