文摘This paper describes an elaborate study on obtaining Ag/PMMA(polymethyl methacrylate)leaky hollow waveguide which has a large aperture and low loss in transmitting solar energy.Through analyses and comparison,a quartz capillary with the inner diameter of 2 mm was chosen as hollow waveguide.We used the xenon light source,which has the similar spectrum as the sunlight to test and analyze the performance of the Ag/PMMA leakage hollow waveguide.The results are consistent with the transmitted theory of the dielectric/metal leaky type well.Meanwhile,the Ag/PMMA leaky-type hollow waveguide in this work had good qualities.Therefore,it will be a satisfactory medium for solar energy transmission.
