Abstract:
1. Amplifying optical electromagnetic wave concentrator comprising at least one amplification focusing device and a receiver, the amplification focusing device being adapted to focus an incident optical electromagnetic wave on the receiver, the amplification focusing device including material doped with at least one active component, an excitation wave source for supplying electromagnetic energy to the amplification focusing device for causing the at least one active component to pass to an energy level such that interaction between the incident electromagnetic wave and the at least one active component causes the at least one active component to pass to a lower energy level and causes emission of at least one photon having the same wavelength as the incident electromagnetic wave towards the receiver, whereby focused photon or photons adapted to be emitted by the at least one active component are in an amplified wave of the incident electromagnetic wave, the amplified wave being adapted to be incident on the receiver, the receiver including a waveguide adapted to conduct the incident amplified wave, the excitation wave being adapted to be emitted towards the amplification focusing device from the waveguide adapted to conduct the excitation wave, the waveguide adapted to conduct the excitation wave being adapted to conduct the incident amplified wave.
