The concentrator separates sunlight into a focused spectrum, allowing photovoltaic conversion efficiences of 50% or more through the use of several types of solar cells. The project involves generation and high-fidelity replication of surface relief diffractive structures with sub-micron dimensions. NLI's patented replication technology can be used to manufacture low cost, high quality diffractive optical elements for use in imaging devices, optoelectronics, integrated optics, optical fiber multiplexers, laser beam scanners, and optical computers.
