Introduction to Nonimaging Optics
TL;DR: In this article, the theoretical foundations and design methods of non-imaging optics, as well as key concepts from related fields, are discussed, including wavefronts for a prescribed output (irradiance or intensity), infinitesimal etendue optics (generalization of the aplanatic optics), and Kohler optics and color mixing.

Optical manifold for light-emitting diodes
Julio Chaves,Waqidi Falicoff,Juan C. Miñano,Pablo Benítez,Oliver Dross,William A. Parkyn,Roberto Alvarez +6 more
TL;DR: An optical manifold as discussed by the authors is used to combine multiple LEDs of the same color and provide a high intensity output aperture with very high uniformity and sharp borders, or they can be used to generate a multi-wavelength output, such as red, green, and due LEDs that are combined to generate white light.

Simultaneous multiple surface optical design method in three dimensions
Pablo Gimenez-Benitez,Juan C. Miñano,José Blen,Ruben Mohedano Arroyo,Julio Chaves,Oliver Dross,Maikel Hernandez,Waqidi Falicoff +7 more
TL;DR: The simultaneous multiple surface (SMS) method in 3D geometry is presented in this paper, where two orthotomic input ray bundles and another two output ray bundles are used to provide an optical system with two free-form surfaces that deflects the rays of the input bundles into the corresponding output bundles.

Optical device for LED-based lamp
Julio Chaves,Juan C. Miñano,Pablo Benítez,William A. Parkyn,Waqidi Falicoff,Fernando Muñoz,Yupin Sun +6 more
TL;DR: An optical device for coupling the luminous output of a light-emitting diode (LED) to a predominantly spherical pattern comprises a transfer section that receives the LED's light within it and an ejector positioned adjacent the transfer section to receive light from the transfer area and spread the light generally spherically as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
High performance Fresnel-based photovoltaic concentrator
Pablo Benítez,Juan C. Miñano,Pablo Zamora,Rubén Mohedano,Aleksandra Cvetkovic,Marina Buljan,Julio Chaves,Maikel Hernandez +7 more
TL;DR: An advanced concentrator optic comprising a Fresnel lens and a refractive secondary element, both with broken rotational symmetry, an optic producing both the desired light concentration with high tolerance (high acceptance angle) as well as an excellent light homogenization by Köhler integration.
