Autorentext
Henning Rehn is currently Team Leader Optical Design at Fisba in St. Gallen, Switzerland, where he is primarily active in imaging optical design. He received his PhD in the field of applied optics from the University of Jena, Germany, in 1995. After a few years as a post-doc, he moved to Carl Zeiss in 1998 and subsequently to OSRAM Berlin where he became Principal Key Expert for Optics Design in 2013.

Julius Muschaweck is founder and owner of JMO GmbH in Gauting, Germany. He has more than 25 years of experience in illumination optics. At OSRAM Germany, he coordinated a global community of optical engineers, and later worked at the global optics company ARRI where he contributed substantially to the enhancement of their illumination optics. As an independent consultant, Julius Muschaweck aims to help companies perfect their illumination optics through innovative solutions and expertise.
