Primary and secondary solar concentrators are of vital importance for advanced solar energy and solar laser researches. Some of the most recent developments in primary and secondary solar concentrators were firstly presented. A novel three-dimensional elliptical-shaped Fresnel lens analytical model was put forward to maximize the solar concentration ratio of Fresnel-lens-based solar concentrators. By combining a Fresnel lens with a modified parabolic mirror, significant improvement in solar laser efficiency was numerically calculated. A |

fixed fiber light guide system using concave outlet concentrators was proposed. The absence of a solar tracking structure highlights this research. By shaping a luminescent solar concentrators in the form of an elliptic array, its emission losses was drastically reduced. Simple conical secondary concentrator was effective for thermal applications. New progresses in solar-pumped lasers by NOVA University of Lisbon were presented. By adopting a rectangular fused silica light guide, 40 W maximum solar laser power was emitted from a single Ce:Nd:YAG rod. An aspheric fused silica secondary concentrator and a small diameter Ce:Nd:YAG rod were essential for attaining 4.5 % record solar-to-laser power conversion efficiency. A novel solar concentrator design for the efficient production of doughnut-shaped and top-hat solar laser beams were also reported. More importantly, a novel solar concentrator approach for the emission of 5 kW-class TEM00 mode solar laser beams from one megawatt solar furnace was put forward at the end of this book, revealing promising future for solar-pumped lasers. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This volume aims to question, supplement, and revise current understandings of the relationship between aesthetic and political operations. The authors transcend disciplinary boundaries and nurture a wide-ranging sensibility about art and sovereignty, two highly complex and interwoven dimensions of human experience that have rarely been explored by scholars in one conceptual space. Chapters consider the intertwining of political structures and modernist artistic forms, including the relationships between nationalism and official portraiture, museums and cultural property, and territoriality and architectural history. Other chapters examine populist politics that emerged as art became commercialized and mediated, engaging industrial design and popular entertainment industries, and producing national and minority cinema, ethnic crafts for domestic markets, and performance art that contests national citizenship. In exploring the nexus of art and sovereignty, contributors highlight power relations and provide critical commentary on repercussions of colonialism and notions of universal truths rooted in Western ideals. By interfering with established dichotomies related to art and sovereignty, all contributors fuel a resistance to traditional definitions of "Art" and encourage a new perspective on the co-constitution of artworks and practices of sovereignty. . |
