光纤太阳光照明系统中聚光装置的设计

Design of fiber light-focusing device for sunlight illumination system

将太阳光经传能光纤传输到室内进行照明是太阳能利用的新发展,而将太阳光耦合到传能光纤中是这项技术的一个难点。在分析塑料光纤的特点和各种聚光技术的基础上,提出一种把太阳光耦合进传能光纤中进行传输的聚光装置。根据非球面透镜垂轴球差小的特点把太阳光会聚到很小的光点,再利用长度约为1/4节距的自聚焦透镜改变光线的数值孔径使其满足光纤的数值孔径,通过一个计算公式来计算最佳的自聚焦透镜长度,实现非球面透镜和自聚焦透镜的最佳组合,把太阳光以较高的耦合效率耦合进塑料光纤。最后在理论上验证了此装置的可行性。

Using sunlight transferred through an energy-transfer fiber for indoor illumination is a new development of solar energy utilization, but there is a technical problem to couple the sunlight into a fiber. A light-focusing device which could couple the sunlight into a energy- transfer fiber was put forward based on the study of plastic fiber characteristics and various light-focusing technology. Based on the traits of the aspherical lens, the sunlight was focused on a very small spot, and then it was transferred into a plastic fiber by an aspherical lens and a selfoc lens. A formula for calculating the optimal length of selfoc lens is presented. The optimal assembly of the aspherical lens and selfoc lens was implemented by the aid of this formula. Therefore, sunlight is coupled into a plastic fiber efficiently. The feasibility of this device is proved theoretically.
