The technology of small point-focusing concentrator of solar energy has been developing
rapidly in recent years owing to its compact structure and high collecting efficiency. This …

Sunlight is a great substitute for indoor artificial lighting during the daytime but still isn't so
viable because of the cost of fiber-based daylighting system and its efficiency. In this paper …

Modern buildings tend to be high-rise and dense, and indoor lightings are extensively
depending on electricity even on sunny days currently. In addition, for those existing solar …

Sunlight contains a wide range of the spectrum, and the spectrum used for plant
photosynthesis is mainly located in the visible band (380–780 nm), while the spectral energy …

Solar lighting is considered as a promising technique, which has huge potential in
conserving energy and relaxing the residents. However, current solar lighting systems used …

Using plastic optical fibers (POFs) to channel sunlight for indoor lighting is an emerging
approach for solar energy utilization. In this study, a long focal length mobile dual-axis …
