Abstract:
Planar optical module ( 100, 100 ′) for capturing, converging and collimating incident light ( 3, 3 ′) with a variable incident direction comprising: —a first optical arrangement ( 10 ) with an optical layer able to converge the incident light-beam ( 3, 3 ′), forming thereby a converging light-beam ( 4, 4 ′) and —a second optical arrangement ( 20 ) placed downstream said first optical arrangement ( 10 ), said second optical arrangement ( 20 ) having an optical layer collimating said converging light-beam(s) ( 4, 4 ′), forming thereby a collimated and concentrated beam ( 5, 5 ′), wherein the first and second optical arrangements ( 10, 20 ) are movable one relative to the other such that the relative position of first and second optical arrangements ( 10, 20 ) allows said collimated and concentrated beam ( 5, 5 ′) to have an orientation which is, in a plane perpendicular to the main plane (P) of the planar optical module ( 100, 100 ′), predetermined, fixed and independent from the direction of the incident light ( 3, 3 ′). Preferentially, the first optical arrangement ( 10 ) comprises two optical layers ( 11, 12 ) movable one relative to the other, the second optical arrangement ( 20 ) comprises either an optical layer formed by one or a plurality of reflective elements ( 26, 27 ) having a concave surface or comprises only one optical layer with variable refractive-index elements ( 23 ) or with fluorescent dyes ( 25 ).

Claim (Index 23):
An optical system for capturing, converging and collimating incident light, comprising:\n at least one planar optical module, the at least one planar optical module comprising: a first optical arrangement with at least one optical layer able to converge the beam of said incident light and form at least one converging light beam, and a second optical arrangement placed downstream from the first optical arrangement, said second optical arrangement having at least one optical layer constructed and arranged to collimate said at least one converging light beam to obtain a corresponding at least one collimated and concentrated beam, wherein the first and second optical arrangements are moveable relative to one another in manner such that a given relative position of the first and second optical arrangements allows said at least one collimated and concentrated beam to have an orientation which is, in a plane perpendicular to the main plane (P) of the planar optical module, predetermined, fixed, and independent from the direction of the incident light; and an optical concentrator placed downstream of said at least one optical module.
