ABSTRACT:
A solar concentrator comprises a prism having radiation input, reflection and output faces. Located on the input and/or reflection face(s) is a layer of material with a formed three-dimensional hologram of transmitting type in the case of the input face or of reflecting type in the case of the reflection face. The structure of the hologram permits radiation input to the prism at an angle greater than the critical angle of total internal reflection to be reflected within the prism without being diffracted by the hologram.
