Nonimaging Fresnel Lenses Summary

Nonimaging Fresnel Lenses: Design and Performance of Solar Concentrators by Ralf Leutz

A detailed and comprehensive account of the engineering of the world's first nonimaging Fresnel lens solar concentrator. The book closes a gap in solar concentrator design, and describes nonimaging refractive optics and its numerical mathematics. The book shows the reader how to find his or her own optical solution using the rules and methodologies covering the design and the assessment of the nonimaging lens.
