Abstract:
A solar concentrator assembly (102) comprises a concave mirror (108) for collecting radiation that is collimated and has uniform distribution from a source and a convex mirror (110). The concave mirror (108) is configured to reflect the radiation to the convex mirror (110) and the convex mirror (110) is configured to reflect the radiation as a concentrated collimated beam in an emission direction that is angularly offset from the source. The concave mirror (108) and convex mirror (110) each have a focal length that varies along one axis such that the radiation collected by the concave mirror (108) is transmitted from the convex mirror (110) with uniform distribution.
