ABSTRACT:
A concentrating lens has a receiving surface that is substantially spherical and a rear or reflecting surface that is substantially hyperbolic. The reflected radiation is directed to a focusing concavity in the receiving surface from which the resultant concentrated beam emerges, substantially in a direction that is opposite to the direction of the impinging radiation.
