Abstract
A number of simple graphical methods for designing optics in CAD are presented. These methods are based on the law of reflection, Snell’s Law, Fermat’s principle and a property of focal conics. These graphical methods will be illustrated using the practical example of designing a catadioptric LED collimator.
