The realization of high‐performance, anti‐fouling optical diffusers is crucial for various light
applications. However, this remains a major challenge for conventional diffusers because of …

This paper is a literature study of daylight transport systems aiming at selecting the most
appropriate ones for application at high latitudes. It is limited to the systems that transport …

A coupled system consisting on a heliostat and a matrix of light-pipes inside one road tunnel
where the heliostat injects sunlight, is proposed. Its reliability and efficiency from theoretical …

Recently, advanced daylighting has become an important part of sustainable architecture
design to increase visual comfort and illuminate deep interior spaces. Daylighting systems …

A tubular skylight (TS) is an effective system for transporting natural sunlight into the building
interiors. However, the passive nature of the system may not account for the changing …

Optical diffusers are widely used in a variety of light sources to create uniform illumination
over a wide field of view. Inspired by the diffraction-based light diffusion of the Morpho …

Daylight plays a significant role in achieving energy saving and comfort in buildings. It is in
accordance with the human circadian rhythms and allows the best visual conditions in work …

In the last decades, lighting has evolved from a branch of engineering ensuring safety and
performance in indoor and outdoor installations, to a key discipline interacting with a wide …

The increasing improvement of tunnelling technology allows more and more complex
tunnels every day. Thus, together with the classical road tunnels through mountains, with …

Light pipes offer a passive way to bring daylight inside deep buildings, such as agricultural
buildings. However, the lack of reliable performance predictability methods for light pipes …
