Theoretical aspects of nonimaging concentrators are considered, taking into account the limits to concentration in physical optics and wave mechanics, connections and transitions between imaging and nonimaging optics, ray tracing through nonimaging concentrators, wideband angular spectrum aberrations-free holoconcentrators, and nonimaging optic theory for photovoltaic applications. General applications of nonimaging concentrators are discussed, giving attention to the development of nonimaging optics, focal plane optics in far-infrared and submillimeter astronomy, the use of a nonimaging concentrator, steam generating collectors, nonimaging concentrators as pump cavities for laser rods, and nonimaging concentrators as absorbers of unwanted radiation. A description of solar applications of nonimaging concentrators is also preented. Occasionally tilted low concentration parabolic collectors for industrial heat are considered along with a comparison of tracking methods for solar concentrators, and nonimaging solar concentrators with flat mirrors.
