Abstract: In the geometrical optics approximation, we consider a method for calculating a refractive optical element with two freeform surfaces, which transforms an incident beam with a plane wavefront into an output beam with a required wavefront and generating a required illuminance distri-bution. As examples, optical elements forming given illuminance distributions and (converging and diverging) spherical wavefronts are designed. The presented examples demonstrate the good performance of the method.

Keywords: free form refractive surface, geometrical optics, inverse problem, illuminance, wavefront
