Design of Ellipsoidal Specular Reflectors of 70 kW High-Flux Solar Simulator

Abstract:

With the constraint of maximum light-concentrating efficiency, we designed a condenser for a 70 kW high-flux solar simulator. The mathematical models of the optical condenser unit and system were established to determine the condenser shape parameters.The Monte Carlo ray-tracing method was applied to compute the the light-concentrating efficiency for the condenser. It is shown that the truncation angle is the major parameter to influence the light-concentrating efficiency.When the truncation angle is 60 degrees, the condenser aberration is balanced by the truncation loss to reach the maximum light-concentrating efficiency.
