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 프레넬 렌즈의 산란특성을 해석하기 위해 2차원 FDTD법을 이용하여 전자계 산란 특성을 해석하였다. 중심 주파수 5GHz에서 동작하는 프레넬 렌즈는 7개의 도체 차폐부로 구성되어 있는 것으로 가정하였다. 계산결과, 설계 초점거리에 해당되는 0.7m 근방에서 이득 26dB를 가지는 것으로 나타났다.

프레넬 렌즈의 기하학적 특성을 활용하면 위성 수신 안테나 및 측지 시스템 등에 활용 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 Soret 타입의 프레넬 렌즈가 배열로 나열된 경우에 대한 방사패턴을 FDTD법을 이용하여 구하였다. 문제를 단순화시키기 위하여 프레넬 렌즈는 일렬로 배치하고, 렌즈는 상대 유전율을 가진 유전체 봉으로 가정하였다.

항공장애등이란 비행 중인 조종사에게 건축물이나 위험물의 존재를 알리기 위해 사용되는 등화를 말한다. 현재 대부분의 항공장애등의 광원은 발광다이오드(light-emitting diode, LED)로 대체되었고, 급격하게 확장 및 보급되었으나, 설치된 항공장애등이 광학적 성능 기준을 충족하지 못하여 항공 수송기기의 충돌 사고를 유발하고 있으며, 이러한 이유로 항공 안전상의 위험에 노출되어 있는 실정이다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 $360^{\circ}$ 방향에서 동일한 광도 분포를 가지고, LED 광원에서 나오는 광선을 좁은 빔(beam) 발산각으로 시준할 수 있는 프레넬 렌즈(fresnel lens)를 각각의 비구면 조각의 집합 (array) 형태로 설계를 하였다. 그 후에, 렌즈 기울기(tilt), LED와 프레넬 렌즈 사이의 거리를 최적화하여 중심 광도 20,000 cd, $3^{\circ}$ 이상의 수직 빔 발산각을 구현하는 항공장애등 광학계 설계와 시뮬레이션을 진행하였다.

A method to focus the object in camera system by applying the Hill climb algorithm from optical lens moving device (VCM; Voice coil motor) is proposed. The focusing algorithm from VCM is focus on the object but in these criteria is a well-known drawback; the focus is good only at same distance objects but the focus is bad (blur image) at different distance objects because of the DOF (Depth of focus) or DOF (Depth of field) at the optical characteristic. Here, the new camera system that describes the Reflector of free curvature systems (or Diffractive Fresnel lens) and the partition of focusing window area is proposed. The method to improve the focus in all areas (different distance objects) is proposed by new optical system (discrete auto in-focus) using the Reflector of free curvature systems (or Diffractive Fresnel lens) and by applying the partition of all areas. The proposal is able to obtain good focus in all areas.

This paper presents the effect of solar collectors on the performance of solar tracking daylighting systems. A series of measurements were made for two different types of solar collectors mounted on double axis solar trackers: Parabolic dish concentrator and Fresnel Lens. Indoor light levels were measured at different locations of an office space (longitude: 126.33 E, latitude 33.45 N) as photo sensors were placed on a task plane 80 cm above the floor. To accurately monitor the applicability of the systems, measurements were performed under clear and overcast sky conditions with the roll-screen (on the south window) in the down position. Comparing the illuminance data, the system with Fresnel lens outperformed that of parabolic dish concentrator. On clear days, the former delivered the light levels of 400~600 lux on the task plane whereas the latter recorded 100~200 lux. Depending on the amount of cloud cover, on overcast days, illuminance readings fluctuated to some extent.

This paper deals with the effectiveness of a fiber optic solar lighting system that uses a Fresnel lens mounted on a two-axis solar tracker. A series of comparative analyses were made concerning its performance as compared to fluorescent lighting by using a simulation model based on ECOTECT and RADIANCE as well as referring to actual data. ECOTECT was used to model the test room (space) while RADIANCE was used for its indoor lighting conditions (environment). It was found that the average indoor light levels of fluorescent lighting fully satisfy the KS standard (KS A 3011, general office, class [G]: 300-400-600 lux) whereas those of the solar lighting with light diffusers depends on the occlusion factor of roller shades installed on the south window.

Fresnel lens는 zone plate에 비해 공정은 쉬우나 회절 효율이 높은 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 micro fresnel lens를 설계하고 각각의 회절 효율 및 focal size를 계산하였으며. 비교적 공정이 용이한 계단 모양의 fresnel lens를 설계하여 회절 효율과 focal size를 계산하였다. 그리고, 광원의 파장과 초점거리에 따른 lens의 회절 효율을 비교하였으며, 계단의 수에 따른 회절 효율도 비교하였다.
