“…Besides, in the next subsection a further analysis regarding temperature effects that could cause the small differences pointed out above is carried out. It is worth mentioning that the concentration ratio obtained for the present device is higher than that of other holographic concentrating systems found in the literature [3][4][5][6].…”

“…This is an important aspect of the study of HOEs, since it allows the optimization of the system for each configuration and the understanding of its behavior. The experimental study of other authors shows current concentration factors (the ratio of the generated electrical current with and without the concentrating system) of 1.23 [3], 1.27 [6], 1.80 [4], and 1.93 [5].…”

“…In most studies they are only characterized in the laboratory with monochromatic light sources. Among the existing publications where the holographic concentrator is illuminated with white light and measurements with a PV cell are performed [3][4][5][6], no modeling of the irradiance that reaches the PV cell is carried out. This is an important aspect of the study of HOEs, since it allows the optimization of the system for each configuration and the understanding of its behavior.…”

“…Another important aspect in the evaluation of HOEs for this application is the degradation that they may suffer due to the prolonged exposure to the aforementioned outdoor conditions. Some authors have studied this with different photopolymer recording materials, reporting changes [19] such as efficiency loss [5,6]. Regarding HOEs recorded in Bayfol ® HX photopolymer, Zanutta et al [18] noted slight changes after being exposed to cycles of one week of duration at 40ºC.…”

A holographic solar concentrating system with a Silicon photovoltaic (PV) cell is designed, constructed and characterized. The design is based on a previous system and is further optimized. The cylindrical holographic lenses forming the concentrating system are modeled with a ray-tracing algorithm based on Coupled Wave Theory and are recorded on Bayfol ® HX photopolymer. Measurements are carried out outdoors with solar illumination and provide a current density of 146 mA/cm 2 with a current concentration factor of 3.48, validating the theoretical simulations results (172 mA/cm 2 and 3.81, respectively). The effect of the temperature on the performance of the Holographic Optical Elements (HOEs) is studied and taking it into account by assuming a 1.3º tilt of the fringes of the hologram caused by thermal expansion (which is reversible if the HOEs are encapsulated and sealed) provides simulation results closer to the experimental ones (a current density value of 155 mA/cm 2 and current concentration of 3.43). The ageing of HOEs recorded in Bayfol ® HX photopolymer due to the outdoor environmental conditions is also analyzed, revealing the need of encapsulation and sealing.

“…The main requirement for holographic solar concentrators is a combination of high diffraction efficiency with a wide range of angles of radiation incidence. In the literature are considered the processes of fabrication and properties of diffraction deflectors based on volume [22][23][24][25] or relief structures [26] and also focusing elements [27][28][29][30] as components of solar concentrators. In this section, we consider the properties of structures in Bayfol HX materials and acrylate compositions as applied to the problem of obtaining diffraction deflectors of holographic solar concentrators.…”

The possibility of the application of acrylate compositions and Bayfol HX photopolymers in holographic technologies is considered. The holographic characteristics of materials, their advantages, and limitations in relation to the tasks of obtaining holographic elements based on periodic structures are given. The conditions for obtaining controlled two and multichannel diffraction beam splitters are determined with advantages in terms of the simplicity of the fabrication process. The diffraction and selective properties of volume and hybrid periodic structures by radiation incidence in a wide range of angles in three-dimensional space are investigated, and new properties are identified that are of interest for the development of elements of holographic solar concentrators with advantages in the material used and the range of incidence angles. A new application of polymer materials in a new method of holographic 3D printing for polymer objects with arbitrary shape fabrication based on the projection of a holographic image of the object into the volume of photopolymerizable material is proposed, the advantage of which, relative to additive 3D printing technologies, is the elimination of the sequential synthesis of a three-dimensional object. The factors determining the requirements for the material, fabrication conditions, and properties of three-dimensional objects are identified and investigated.
