Abstract
High-flux solar simulators provide intense radiation beams, suitable for high-temperature, high-heating rate testing of various energy conversion and materials technologies, for example receivers and reactors for concentrating solar thermal processes and thermal protection systems of space vehicles. This talk provides an overview of simulator designs, devices and characteristics, and discusses pertinent optical and technological aspects.
