Non-Imaging Optics

Catalog description

Fundamentals and methodologies of non-imaging optics to design energy systems. The first part covers material fundamental to the understanding of imaging optics. This will lead into the non-imaging optical systems and the physics that made it possible to design solar energy concentrators. The second half of the course covers material dedicated to the designs of non-imaging optical systems applied to the solar energy field and optimization and analysis of these systems.
