Volume Holographic Optical Elements (HOEs) present
interesting characteristics for photovoltaic applications as they can select
spectrum for concentrating the target bandwidth and avoiding non-desired
wavelengths, which can cause the decrease of the performance on the cell,
for instance by overheating it. Volume HOEs have been recorded on Bayfol
HX photopolymer to test the suitability of this material for solar
concentrating photovoltaic systems. The HOEs were recorded at 532 nm
and provided a dynamic range, reaching close to 100% efficiency at 800
nm. The diffracted spectrum had a FWHM of 230 nm when illuminating at
Bragg angle. These characteristics prove HOEs recorded on Bayfol HX
photopolymer are suitable for concentrating solar light onto photovoltaic
cells sensitive to that wavelength range.
