The description of the luminescent solar collector of this publication is incorporated herein by reference. Such luminescent collectors are known to collect both direct sunlight and diffuse sky light, but are relatively inefficient when collecting direct sunlight. A direct sunlight collection system combined in a stack and a declarative device for this luminescent solar concentrator, which performs well in both clear skies (primarily direct sunlight) and cloudy skies (mainly diffuse sunlight). The basic concept of a V-light concentrator is to provide one or several layers of a semi-transparent material that is doped with fluorescent or luminescent dyes. The fluorescent or luminescent dyes effectively absorb the sky light and emit in the visible wavelength region. Fluorescent or luminescent. The layers (preferably a glass or a push-like sheet similar to pMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) polymeric material) have their sides flanked by - or several light guides. By using one of several sheets that are mixed with different color dyes, it is mixed with the combination of the color of the butyl butyl group in the different enamels of the enamel, which can achieve (four) illuminating and - almost self-color emitting light - higher absorb. For example, in the case of three layers having different dyes, the sky light absorbed in the upper layer is preferably absorbed in the intermediate or lower layer by appropriate selection of the dyes. Using the proposed concentrating device, a new type of solar concentrator is provided which can be used for fiber optic lighting. Fiber optic lighting is particularly attractive as it allows for seamless integration of artificial lighting and can be used in building renovations. However, the application of this concentrator is not limited to daylighting. Other applications may, for example, be in the field of photovoltaic or bioreactors or may include fields similar to heating, cooking, photovoltaic power generation, thermoelectric generation, gardening, and the like. The direct sunlight collected by the array of optical elements or optical elements and the remaining light system collected by the luminescent concentrator are simultaneously transported to the place where the collected light is to be used, using a corresponding light guide. Preferably, the light guides are formed from optical fibers or bundles of optical fibers. In a preferred embodiment, the fibers are multimode fibers, particularly plastic optical fibers (p〇f) having a relatively high numerical aperture. Such fibers of larger diameter, e.g., having a core diameter of almost imm, can be transmitted even with slight soiling or damage at the ends of the fibers or with the optical axis slightly away from the center. The optical elements or array of optical elements of the proposed device are preferably part of a tracking system that actively moves the optical elements to track the sun. Such tracking systems for optical components are known in the art. The proposed device is not limited to any of such known systems, as long as the arrays are sufficiently translucent to allow diffused sky light to penetrate the lower luminescent concentrator. Examples of suitable optical components are conventional lenses or Fresnel lenses as are known in the art. These and other aspects of the invention can be understood and clarified with reference to the specific embodiments illustrated hereinafter. Embodiments Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of one embodiment of a proposed concentrating device. The device comprises a two-dimensional array of optical elements 2, which in this example are formed by lenses, each lens system being mounted in a cone-shaped holder. The sho 4 bracket can be actuated by a suitable drive unit (not shown in this figure) to simultaneously track the path of the sun. A suitable tracking mechanism (for example) is shown in WO 2006/049560. With this tracking mechanism, direct sunlight is collected efficiently at any time by the array 1 of optical elements 2. The lenses focus sunlight I into the aperture of the fiber 3' which are suitably curved to extend in a plane below the array 1 of optical elements 2. This configuration of the optical fiber 3 is schematically illustrated in Figure 1. The light collected by the optical elements 2 is transported by the optical fibers 3 to the left end of the optical fibers. Direct sunlight is transported through the fibers 3 to the room by appropriately extending the length of the fibers 3 to the desired application (e.g., for a room for artificial lighting). In this case, the holders of the lenses are made of a transparent plastic material, such that the illumination light not collected by the lenses penetrates through the lens array and is transmitted through the optical fiber 3 to the luminescent concentrator 4, which It is configured under the configuration of fiber 3, as indicated in Figure 。. For this reason, the tracking mechanism should also be constructed to allow as much light as possible. Especially in the case of diffusing sky light 14, that is, in the case of a cloudy sky, most of the light penetrates into the luminescent concentrator 4, since only the optical axes of the lenses parallel to the array are illuminated. The light is focused on the entrance window of the optical fibers 3 138704.doc 200944713 The cold concentrator 4 is doped with a luminescent dye that absorbs a higher portion of the illumination. The light emitted by the fluorescent dyes is coupled into an optical light guide 5 (e.g., an additional fiber or fiber bundle) that is indicated on the left side of the luminescent concentrator 4 in FIG. The light emitted by the dyes can then be transported to the desired application using optical light guide 5 in the same manner as direct sunlight.

The numerical aperture of the PMMA fiber is 〇.47 = Λ / (ηι2_ η2 ), where η is the refractive index of the core of the fiber and the refractive index of the cladding of the fiber. The numerical aperture of a lens is sin (atan(d/(2*f))). If the two numerical apertures are identical in the simple case where no graded index or similar fiber is used, it is desirable to select the diameter of the lens with a given focal length so that all collected light enters the fiber. The optical fibers 3 may have a POF fiber having a core diameter of about 1 mm and formed into a bundle of fibers. Instead of individually moving each of the lenses or brackets, the entire lens configuration including the optical fibers 3 and the cold light concentrator 4 can be mounted on a mounting plate, which is then moved by a motor to track the sun. One of the cold concentrating concentrators 4 shows an example that can be used in the proposed device. This luminescent concentrator 4 is formed by stacking three color luminescent solar collectors 6 connected to a transparent flexible light guide 7. Each of the color luminescence solar collectors consists of a transparent PMMA substrate having a size of approximately 1 mx 〇, 15 mx 0,002 并 and is doped with a color fluorescent dye. For the purpose of light transport, the solar collectors are optically transparent to the transparent PMMA light guides 7. With these light guides 7, light can be transported to a basement or windowless room in the center of a building at 138704.doc 200944713. White light output can be achieved by appropriately selecting the dye, given a better match to the calender color. In the luminescent concentrator shown, the upper sheet may contain a violet dye which may contain a green dye and the lower sheet may contain a pink dye. The dyes are selected to have a higher quantum efficiency to emit fluorescent light that combines all three colors in close proximity to white light and overlaps within its absorption band such that most of the illumination is absorbed by the three layers or sheets.

The amount of solar energy enters the stack where it may be absorbed by the violet dye within the top sheet and randomly re-emitted. If the emitted photons travel below the critical angle with respect to the top or side surface of the sheet, they will leave the collector. Otherwise it will be totally internally reflected to the end of the collector and then passed through the light guide 7 to the illuminated end of the light guide 7. Photons unabsorbed by the violet dye can be transmitted through to the next sheet where it can be absorbed by the fluorescent green dye and re-emitted. A highly reflective mirror is attached to the trailing edge of each of the sheets to reflect photons that are initially directed away from the light guides 7. Some of the emitted photons can also exit each sheet at the sheet substrate and enter the pink sheet at the bottom of the stack, where it can then be reabsorbed and re-emitted. A white or reflective (e.g., aluminum) substrate is placed under the pink sheet to reflect any light that reaches the substrate of the stack, thereby increasing the absorption efficiency of the stack. Figure 3 shows the optical elements 2 that can be used in the proposed device. An example of one of the optical components within the array. In this case, the array of optical elements consists of two arrays of lenses 12, 13 arranged one behind the other in two parallel planes. The upper plane contains an array of convex lenses 12 containing an array of 138704.doc • 10·200944713 concave lenses 13. The two lens arrays are movable independently of each other in their respective planes, thereby allowing the sun to be tracked as shown in three partial views showing different angles of illumination of the direct sunlight 8. The combination of the concentrating lens 12 and the concave lens 13 focuses the illuminating sunlight onto the entrance aperture of the optical fiber 3 for further transport. Light that is not illuminated at the correct angle does not enter the fibers 3 and is passed to the luminescent concentrator (not shown in this figure). While the invention has been illustrated and described with reference to the particular embodiments The invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed. Different specific embodiments described above and within the scope of the patent application may also be combined. Other variations to the disclosed embodiments can be understood and effected by those skilled in the <RTIgt; For example, the construction of the luminescent concentrator is not limited to the exemplary constructions in the illustrations. The concentrator may have fewer or more dye sheets and may, for example, also have other dimensions. The array of optical elements φ at the top of the device may also have any suitable design that is capable of collecting direct sunlight and being sufficiently translucent to allow the array of uncollected diffuse sky light to pass through to the luminescent concentrator. The distribution of the optical elements in the array and the configuration of the light guides are not critical and may have any suitable form. In the scope of the patent application, the word "comprising" does not exclude other elements or steps, and the indefinite article "-" or "-" does not exclude the plural facts. A combination of one of these metrics is advantageously used. Reference signs within the scope of the patent application should not be construed as limiting the scope of the application. 138704.doc 11 200944713 [Brief Description of the Drawings] The above exemplary embodiments show examples of the proposed concentrating device and its components with reference to the accompanying drawings without limiting the scope of protection.
