HCPV(High Concentrated PV) systems have well known for CPV market all over the world. Low concentration type silicon based modules have been introduced in the market. But low cost of standard flat silicon modules made them useless nowadays. High cost of compound semiconductor solar cell reduced cost effective cpv module production than that of recently silicon solar cell. In order to overcome increasing cost of CPV module, we study middle concentration type fresnel lens simulation using concentrated type silicon based solar cell. Linear type fresnel lens made production of CPV module without secondary optics such as light pipe or light tunnel. This type of fresnel lens design makes more cost effective solution for cpv niche market.

The artificial increase in the solar intensity incident on solar cells using lenses or mirrors can allow solar cells to generate equivalent power with a lower cost. There are two types of concentration optics for solar energy conversion. One is to use mirrors, and the other is to use Fresnel lenses. The gains that can be achieved with a Fresnel lens or a parabolic mirror are compared. The result showed the gains are comparable and the two configurations were developed competitively. In application areas of Fresnel lenses as solar concentrators, several variations of design were devised and tested. Some PV systems still use commercially available flat Fresnel lenses as concentrators. A convex linear Fresnel lens to improve the concentration ratio and the efficiency is devised and flat linear Fresnel lens in thermal energy collection is utilized. In this study, we designed and optimized flat Fresnel lens and the 'light pipe' to develop 500X concentrated solar PV system. In the process, we compare the transmission efficiencies according to groove types. We performed rigorous ray tracing simulation of the flat Fresnel lenses. The computer aided simulation showed the 'grooves in case' has the better efficiency than that of 'grooves out case'. Based on the ray-trace results we designed and manufactured sample Fresnel lenses. The optical performance were measured and compared with ray-trace results. Finally, the optical efficiency was measured to be above 75%. All the design and manufacturing were performed based on that InGaP/InGaAs/Ge triple junction solar cell is used to convert the photon energy to electrical power. Field test will be made and analyzed in the near future.

본 논문에서는 25배 태양광 집광장치에 적용될 선형 프레넬 렌즈의 최적화에 대해 서술한다. 이 선형 프레넬 렌즈는 각기 다른 패턴을 가진 $10{\times}10$ mm 크기의 선형 프레넬 렌즈가 $5{\times}5$의 형태로 결합된 렌즈이다. 각 프레넬 렌즈는 같은 크기의 태양전지로 태양광이 입사할 수 있도록 최적화되어 있다. 최적화된 프레넬 렌즈의 설계치는 패턴높이 35 ${\mu}m$, 구배각 $4^{\circ}$, 모서리 라운드 1 ${\mu}m$로 각각의 선형 프레넬 렌즈에 모두 같은 값이 부여되었지만 사면경사각은 $14.1^{\circ}{\sim}31.2^{\circ}$로 각기 다르다. 이렇게 설계된 선형 프레넬 렌즈의 태양광 집광효율은 80%이상이며 기존의 25배 집광용 단일 프레넬 렌즈보다 오정렬 및 제작공차 측면에서 강력한 성능을 가진다. 설계된 선형 프레넬 렌즈의 민감도 분석을 통해 모서리 라운드가 1 ${\mu}m$씩 증가할수록 집광효율이 ~5%씩 저하되는 것을 파악하였고 이에 모서리 라운드가 최소한의 수치로 유지되어야 함을 확인하였다.

We present results of the optical design and fabrication of a light-guiding plate (LGP) for a photobioreactor by using sunlight and a linear Fresnel lens. LGP patterns were designed by optical simulations with an illumination design tool, LightTools, and fabricated by using a computerized numerical control machine. Optical characteristics of average deviation of illuminance distribution and light throughput efficiency were measured and compared with simulation results.

본 논문에서는 자연채광 시스템 LFLP(Linear Fresnel Light Pipe)와 DBLP(Double Blind Light Pipe)시스템을 비교하였다. LFLP시스템은 평행한 빛을 선형프레넬렌즈를 이용하여 선형 형태로 빛으로 집광하여 자연채광에 이용하는 시스템이며, DBLP시스템은 베네시안 형태의 블라인드를 이용하여 빛을 반사시켜 자연채광에 이용하는 시스템이다. DBLP시스템은 LFLP시스템을 개선한 것으로 시스템 앞쪽에 위치한 블라인드는 태양의 고도에 따른 빛을, 뒤쪽에 위치한 블라인드는 태양의 방위각에 따른 빛을 변광부로 반사시키도록 설계 되었다. DBLP시스템의 변광부는 콘모양으로 이루어 져 있으며 블라인드에 의해 반사된 빛을 산광부로 보내주는 역할을 하며, 산광부로 들어온 빛은 실내조명에 사용된다. 따라서 맑은날(clear sky)을 기준으로 두 시스템의 효율을 비교하면 DBLP시스템이 LFLP시스템보다 세배 높게 나오는 것으로 나타났다.

This paper studies on the design and fabrication of a micro in-plane positioning actuator integrated with a microlens. Proposed in-plane actuator is a micro XY-stage which is composed of two linear comb drive actuators being orthogonal to each other. In the fabrication of actuator, the single crystalline silicon substrate anodically bonded with a #7740 glass substrate is used because of simple release and passivation. The structure of actuator is formed on the silicon facet of bonded fixture by chlorine-based deep RIE and then released by isotropic wet etching of glass (#7740) in hydrofluoric acid solution. Fabricated actuator has a large travel range up to $30({\pm}15){\mu}m$ and high resolution less than 0.01f1l1l in each direction. Experimented resonant frequency of this actuator is 630Hz. The micro-Fresnel lens is fabricated on the square-shape glass structure prepared in the center of actuator.

Transparent materials are widely used in the fields of optic parts and bio industry. We have experiment to find out the characteristics of the micromachining inside transparent materials using femtosecond laser pulses. With its non-linear effects by very high peak intensity, filament (plasma channel) was formed by the cause of the self-focusing and the self-defocusing. Physical damage could be found when the intensity is high enough to give rise to the thermal stress or evaporation. At the vicinity of the power which makes the visible damage or modification, the structural modification occurs with the slow scanning speed. According to the polarization direction to the scanning direction, the filament quality is quite different. There is a good quality when the polarization direction is parallel to the scanning direction. For fine filament, we could suggest the conditions of the high numerical aperture lens, the short shift of focusing point, the low scanning speed and the low power below 20 mW. As the examples of optics parts, we fabricated the fresnel zone plate with the $225{\mu}m$ diameter and Y-bend optical wave guide with the $5{\mu}m$ width.
