Acceptance Angle and Illumination Uniformity for Overfilled Optical Concentrators

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Solar concentrators are frequently characterized by an acceptance angle that specifies optical throughput when the concentrator is misaligned. Here we introduce an effective acceptance angle that includes the effect of illumination non-uniformity on system performance.
