Abstract
A multi-wavelength holographic grating using photopolymer is presented for a holographic solar concentrator system. Currently, volume holographic optical elements (HOEs) have been proposed for application in solar concentrators due to their advantages, such as lightweight, selective wavelength, and passive tracking. However, their efficiency depends on the central wavelength, which is determined by both the recording material and the recording angle. In this work, a transmission holographic grating with multiple wavelengths is proposed to enhance the performance of holographic solar concentrator systems. The diffraction efficiency and spectral range are significant factors in determining the concentrated efficiency of solar energy. The optimal efficiency of transmission grating is derived based on the optical characteristics of the photopolymer and the wavelength selectivity is then analyzed to compare the concentrated efficiency. The experimental results indicate that the dichromatic transmission grating with an average diffraction efficiency of 70 % and a wavelength band of 278 nm has a concentrated efficiency of 48.7 %. Compared to monochromatic and trichromatic holographic grating, dichromatic grating can concentrate more energy with a wider spectral band.
