A method of smooth energy mappings for uniform rectangular-shaped illumination is proposed. The adequacy of the proposed method is demonstrated by ray-tracing simulation. The method can be used for horizontal clear-cut illumination to comply with the ECE regulations for auto fog light and 15°-tilt for headlamp.

Key words: illumination design, freeform lens, lens design, energy mapping, ray-tracing simulation
