Refractive spectrum splitting optics for use with photovoltaic cells

A new optical design is proposed that refractively disperses sunlight and concentrates different portions of the spectrum onto an array of photovoltaic cells with suitable band gaps. Splitting the solar spectrum allows each photovoltaic cell to operate at higher efficiency. The configuration present...
