2 Photonic Systems Integration Lab (PSI) Dr. Joseph E. Ford Principle Investigator Photonic Systems Integration Lab Concentric Multi-reflection Lenses (aka Origami Optics) 8-fold telephoto lens, 40mm focal length, 5mm thick 5.7 full angle field of view E. Tremblay, R. Stack, R. Morrison, J. Karp, and J. Ford, "Ultrathin four-reflection imager," Appl. Opt. 48, (2009) Group Members: Stephen Olivas Eric Tremblay Brett Nadler Jason Karp Justin Hallas Kate Baker Pavel Shekhtmeyster

3 Concentrator Photovoltaics (CPV) Silicon Solar Cells Single material bandgap 12-18% efficiency Multijunction Solar Cells 2 or more material bandgaps >40% efficiency GaInP GaInAs Solar Concentration 100x 500x increase in flux Ge Goal: Design and fabricate a highflux concentrator compatible with inexpensive manufacturing

4 Concentrator Components Solar Systems 1. Primary Focusing Optic Performs light concentration Large collecting lens or mirror Trend towards multiple apertures Energy Innovations SolFocus 2. Secondary Homogenization Optic Mounted between primary and PV cell Uniform illumination for high efficiency Non-imaging optical design Light Prescriptions Innovators Xiaohui Ning, Appl. Opt. 26, Mechanical Tracking Alignment for direct insolation Angular acceptance defines tracking accuracy Wind loading and environmental stability Flatcon System Tracking Concentrix Solar

5 Optical design & modeling Multiple apertures couple to single output Homogeneous output intensity Uniform thickness (roll-to-roll fabrication) Focused Sunlight Decoupling Loss Slab waveguide symmetric prism coupling J. H. Karp, E. J. Tremblay and J. E. Ford, Planar micro-optic solar concentrator, Optics Express, Submitted for publication, October 12, Reflective prisms tilt light to TIR Couplers occupy <0.1% of waveguide surface Subsequent interaction decouples as loss

6 System Layout Lens Array Cladding Layer Slab Waveguide Slab Thickness Geometric Concentration Ratio Slab Length Cgeo 2x Slab Thickness

7 Fabrication process: Self-alignment Critical Alignment Tolerance Lens focus must overlap with each coupling location <50μm lateral alignment tolerance <0.01 (0.2mrad) rotational alignment UV Exposure Solution: Self-alignment Mold prism structure in UV-curable photopolymer Expose through lens array to define coupling regions Cured regions remain part of the final device Coupling features made by exposure through lenses Low-cost manufacturing process Continuous roll processing (same used for holographic packaging) on flexible or rigid substrates

8 Design Tradeoffs Field Displacement: Sun subtends ±0.25 θ θ d f tanθ d f tanθ f f Short focal length small coupling area Long focal length easier TIR condition Waveguide Thickness: C flux = Slab Length Slab Thickness x Efficiency Length Slab Thickness Length Slab Thickness Thin waveguide high concentration Thick waveguide increased efficiency
