Introduction

• Compound Parabolic Concentrators (CPCs) are designed to efficiently collect and concentrate distant light sources, with some acceptance angle.

• Compound Parabolic Concentrators are critical components in solar energy collection, wireless communication, biomedical and defense research, or for any applications requiring condensing of a divergent light source.

Problem

Compound Parabolic Concentrator having following parameter:

• Shape :Hollow & Parabolic• Front length (the distance from the focal point to the entrance port end of the

concentrator) : 30 mm• Back length (the distance from the focal point to the exit port end of the

concentrator) : 8 mm• Lateral focal shift (equal to the exit port radius for a textbook concentrator): 0• Thickness : 0.1 mm• Axis tilt (equal to the acceptance angle for a textbook concentrator) : 30• Focal length(s) : 10• Origin (X, Y, Z coordinates of the center of the exit port) : (0,0,0)• Rotation (X, Y, Z rotation angles about the center of the exit port) : (0,0,0)
