Description and optimization of front glass in car headlights

Abstract

This diploma thesis is focused on description and optimization of front glass in car lighting. In the first part there is general description of headlamp, used optical systems, light sources in automotive industry and material of cover glass, next there is mentioned photometry and its units and further computer-aided design and used software in this thesis. The second part consists of description of optics of cover glass, specifically analytical calculation of deviation of light beam on passage of cover glass, calculation of reflectance and description of intensity layout. The main part of this thesis is method of optimization of cover glass using software in a cooperation with company Varroc Lighting Systems, s.r.o. and creating a guideline for process of this optimization.
