Mathematical Analysis of Nonimaging Fresnel Lenses Using Refractive and Total Internal Reflection Prisms for Sunlight Concentration

Figure 5

Nonimaging Fresnel lens design. (a) Design method for nonimaging Fresnel lenses composed of one kind of prisms; the equations used to solve are determined by the kind of prism to be tested. (b) Design method proposed, where the solution of each kind of prism corresponds to the design method shown in (a).
