Design of a light confining concentrator for a solar photochemical reactor and upper bound to the method

Marilyne Andersen, Boris Clément Karamata

Optical concentration obtained by light confinement bears unique features that can increase the efficiency of a photochemical reactor. A suitable implementation of this method for a solar reactor is a series of parallel tubular receivers sealed in a slab-s ...

Origin and nature of measurement bias in catadioptric parallel goniophotometers

Marilyne Andersen, Boris Clément Karamata

We briefly categorize and compare parallel goniophotometers, which are instruments capable of simultaneously measuring the far-field distribution of light scattered by a surface or emitted by a source over a large solid angle. Little is known about the acc ...

Stationary solar concentrator delivering beyond the étendue law with homogeneous illumination

Marilyne Andersen, Boris Clément Karamata

We describe a concept for a novel stationary solar concentrator that relies on a new self-adaptive optical valve, non-imaging optics and the integrating sphere principle. Our analytical model reveals that this unique combination theoretically allows reachi ...

Revisiting parallel catadioptric goniophotometers

Marilyne Andersen, Boris Clément Karamata

A thorough knowledge of the angular distribution of light scattered by an illuminated surface under different angles is essential in numerous industrial and research applications. Traditionally, the angular distribution of a reflected or transmitted light ...

NOMAD - Network of Optimization Modalities in Architectural Design

Marilyne Andersen, Boris Clément Karamata, Loïc Vivien Fumeaux, Dan-Alexis Bolomey

Two pairs of identical experimentation modules are being developed within the framework of a collaborative initiative named NOMAD – Network of Optimization Modalities in Architectural Design - between the Interdisciplinary Laboratory of Performance-Integra ...

Speckle statistics in optical coherence tomography

Theo Lasser, Boris Clément Karamata, Kai Hassler, Markus Laubscher

The two previously reported calculations of the amplitude distribution of speckles in optical coherence tomography, each based on a different mathematical formulation, yield different results. We show that a modification of an initial assumption in one of ...

Multiple scattering in optical coherence tomography. I. Investigation and modeling

Theo Lasser, Boris Clément Karamata, Marcel Leutenegger, Stéphane Bourquin, Markus Laubscher

We present a new model of optical coherence tomography (OCT) taking into account multiple scattering. A theoretical analysis and experimental investigation reveals that in OCT, despite multiple scattering, the field backscattered from the sample is general ...
