OPTICAL DEVICES FOR RADIATION CONCENTRATION, COLLIMATION OR HIGH-FIDELITY IMAGING

摘要

Fundamentally new classes of maximum−performance, dual−contour (refractive and reflective) optical devices for the collimation, concentration or high−quality imaging of radiation are described here, with applications in solar and infrared concentration, collimation (e.g. light emitting diode, discharge or arc filament lamps), as well as sharp image fidelity at high target irradiance in imaging systems.
