Experimental Study on Light Intensity Profile in an Axisymmetric Thin Shell Irradiated by a Light

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper experimentally investigates light intensity distribution in a paraboloid of thin shell irradiated by a laser. Light intensity distribution needs to be understood for solar energy heat receiver or laser drilling cavity. A novel method is utilized to measure the light intensity distribution in a paraboloid of thin shell irradiated by a laser. The results are explained by simple geometric optics.
