5. Lighting, Illumination: Optics Is Light Work!
Light Sources Devices, Systems
„Collect all photons and illuminate!“
Performance (brightness, contrast, color,
uniformity, efficiency)
Size (larger area, smaller device)
Costs (manufacturing, energy saving, lifetime)

6. Conservation of Etendue – Lagrange Invariant
Etendue is a property of an optical system, which characterizes how
"spread out" the light is in area and angle.
Lagrange invariant is a measure of the light propagating through an
optical system. For a given optical system, the Lagrange invariant is a
constant throughout all space, that is, it is invariant upon refraction and
transfer.

9. Köhler Illumination, Köhler Integrator (Fly‘s Eye)
In 1893 August Köhler (1866–1948) from
Carl Zeiss in Jena, introduced a new and
revolutionary method for uniform illumination
of specimen in an optical microscope in his
doctoral thesis.
The Köhler method allows to adjust the size
and the numerical aperture of the object
illumination in a microscope independent
from each other.

18. Wafer-Scale Manufacturing Is Quite Sucessful!
Wafer-based „SEMI“ technology changed our world dramatically in the
last 50 years!
Manufacturing concepts from SEMI are adapted for other products.
Computers, digital cameras, displays, LED, OLED, high-power switches,
wafer-level cameras, ...
Wafer-based „SEMI“ technology for Optics is very successful.
Question: Is it now possible to integrate Optics on the LED using
Wafer-Level Packaging?
