Abstract

Three-element micro-optical array, enabled by micro-photovoltaic cells, provides simple in-plane fine tracking (±10° FOV - for coupling to a coarse mount tracker) and improves lens and anti-reflection coating optical efficiency. Prototype 49:1 concentration for 400nm < λ < 1600nm demonstrated.
