A Lens-to-Channel Waveguide Solar Concentrator

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We present a lens-to-waveguide structure, employing a lens array and tapered channel waveguides. It eliminates decoupling losses for 100% design efficiency, providing up to 5000x concentration under 0.26° incidence angle.
