An introduction to Non Imaging Optics, application to Solar Energy Concentration

Manuel Collares-Pereira – Evora, Portugal

An Introduction to Non Imaging Optics is made, from first principles to its application mainly in Solar Energy, but also in other areas as in Illumination, Particle Physics and Astrophysics. The limits to concentration in geometrical optics are explained and different optical configurations will be discussed in comparison with conventional imaging optics.
