  • Abstract
    Immersion graded refractive index optics enable passive optical concentrators, but also present challenges in design, fabrication, and integration. In this paper, we describe two simple and scalable fabrication techniques and report on the performance of prototypes. We present two tileable designs and demonstrate a passive concentration of 3 Suns.
