Nonimaging Optics in Solar Energy (Synthesis Lectures on Energy and the Environment: Technology) by Joseph J. O'Gallagher

Nonimaging optics is a subdiscipline of optics whose development over the last 35–40 years was led by scientists from the University of Chicago and other cooperating individuals and institutions. The approach provides a formalism that allows the design of optical devices that approach the maximum physically attainable geometric concentration for a given set of optical tolerances. This means that it has the potential to revolutionize the design of solar concentrators.
