Abstract:

This work is devoted to the study of the effect of temperature on the spectral irradiance blurring (concentrated in the focal plane of a Fresnel lens) arising due to the inherent chromatic aberration (CA) of the lens. This paper  presents equipment for recording both irradiance distribution and spectral irradiance redistribution for the radiation concentrated by a small-sized energy concentrator adapted to temperature measurements, as well as the results of a study of Fresnel lenses.
