Abstract
This research formulates an elliptical-based Fresnel lens concentrator system using optical geometry and ray tracing technique. The author incorporates solar spectrum with the refractive indices of lens materials to form different color mixes on the target plane. The model illustrates the solar spectrum distributions under the Fresnel lens. It can be used to investigate each spectral segment's distribution patterns and helps to match the concentration patterns of different wavelengths to different solar energy applications.
