"Field Guide to Illumination" by Angelo V. Arecchi, Tahar Messadi, R. John Koshel (Repost)

The content in this Field Guide starts with traditional illumination in imaging systems, followed by the recent advances in computer-aided design of high efficiency nonimaging illumination optics, along with the modern source models that support these techniques. Sections on the illumination of visual displays are included as well as some important topics on architectural illumination.
