Optical Elements, thus promoting cheap solar concentrators applied for piped sunlight …

A volume transmission phase holographic element was designed and constructed to
perform as a building integrated photovoltaic concentrator. The holographic lens diffracts …

Global warming is a very topical issue, therefore the search for new renewable energy
sources is considered of fundamental importance. Among these, solar energy offers great …

Recording process and characterization of high efficiency holographic lens on nickel ion
doped methylene blue sensitized photopolymer material is presented. The material showed …

The use of holographic concentrators for photovoltaic solar concentration is a very attractive
proposition as the hologram can be designed to be wavelength selective ie it can be …

In this chapter, we investigate the possibility to realize a holographic solar concentrator by
using a new photopolymeric material as recording medium. Therefore, two different …

My thesis describes how photovoltaic performance can be improved by careful engineering
and incorporation of optical elements and materials external to the devices. These optical …
