ABSTRACT:
A paraboloidal mirror collects radiant solar energy and reflects it to a smaller mirror positioned on the directrix of the larger mirror. A fiber-optic cable has one end positioned within an opening in the vertex of the larger mirror, and energy reflected a second time from the smaller mirror is directed to the ends of fibers in the fiber-optical cable. To prevent the formation of destructive hot spots by the focusing of rays that are slanting with respect to the direction of the fibers, the fibers near the end receiving the radiant energy are collected into groups, and an opaque, reflective coating surrounds each of the groups.
