Abstract

We have designed a Linear Fresnel Reflector (LFR), with potential applications for solar concentration, by using an exact ray tracing. We have mathematically parameterized the slopes of LFR to provide predefined areas of light concentration. LFR planar mirrors were calculated in such a way that an incident plane wavefront can be focused at minimum absorber area. Finally, prototypes of LFR were manufactured by using a 3D printer, considering a set of small sized mirrors to join up with the aim of producing a linear focus.
