Planar waveguide concentrator used with a seasonal tracker.
Solar concentrators offer good promise for reducing the cost of solar power. Planar waveguides equipped with a microlens slab have already been proposed as an excellent approach to produce medium to high concentration levels. Instead, we suggest the use of a cylindrical microlens array to get useful concentration without tracking during the day. To use only a seasonal tracking system and get th...
متن کاملGRIN planar waveguide concentrator used with a single axis tracker.
It is generally accepted that small to medium level concentrators could be used as cost-competitive replacements for tracked solar panels. The objective is to design a system that can reach a good level of sun concentration with only one sun-tracking axis and is cheap to fabricate. As the most critical parameter for all concentrator designs, optical efficiency needed improvement to reduce the c...
متن کاملPlanar Waveguide Hybrids for Very High Power RF
Two basic designs have been developed for waveguide hybrids, or 3-dB couplers, capable of handling hundreds of megawatts at X-band. Coupling is provided by one or two connecting waveguides with h-plane junctions and matching elements. In the former case, the connecting waveguide supports two modes. Small apertures and field-enhancing ebends are avoided to reduce the risk of rf breakdown. The h-...
متن کاملSiON high-refractive-index waveguide and planar lightwave circuits
The rapidly growing optical communication market requires photonic components with ever-increasing functionality and complexity that can be fabricated reliably at low cost. Of the various approaches used to fabricate photonic components, those based on planar waveguides have achieved high performance and represent a promising path toward compact integration of optical functions. We present an o...
متن کاملHigh Extinction, Broadband, and Low Loss Planar Waveguide Polarizers
A technique for making high extinction and broadband polarizers in a low loss planar waveguide platform is presented and characterized. Extinction greater than 78 dB is obtained with low loss for the desired polarization.
