DEVICE AND METHOD FOR LIGHT EXPOSURE REGULATION OF AGRICULTURAL GOODS AND ENERGY PRODUCTION

The present invention relates to an optomechanical system (100) for converting or transmitting a highly-directional component (81) of incident light (80) and for transmitting a diffuse component (82) of incident light (80), comprising▪ an optical arrangement (40) comprising a first optical layer (41), wherein the first optical layer (41) comprises a plurality of primary optical elements (47);▪ a light energy conversion layer (50) at least partially transparent to light and comprising a plurality of distant light energy conversion elements (51) capable of converting light energy in an output energy;▪ a shifting mechanism (60) for moving the optical arrangement (40) relative to the light energy conversion layer (50) or vice versa; and▪ a frame element (10) to which either the optical arrangement (40) or the light energy conversion layer (50) is attached,wherein the shifting mechanism (60) is arranged to displace the optical arrangement (40) or the light energy conversion layer (50) translationally relative to the frame element (10), through one or more translation element (65),wherein the primary optical elements (47) of the first optical layer (41) and the shifting mechanism (60) are designed such that the highly-directional component (81) of incident light (80) is directable onto the light energy conversion elements (51) of the light energy conversion layer (50) and such that the diffuse component (82) of incident light (80) is transmittable through the regions of the light energy conversion layer (50) not covered by the light energy conversion elements (51), andwherein the total output power of the light energy conversion elements (51) and/or the amount of light transmitted through the optomechanical system (100) is adjustable.Furthermore, the present invention also relates to a corresponding method for converting light energy with the aforementioned optomechanical system.
