To measure plasma density and magnetic fluctuations on the HL-2M tokamak simultaneously, a new diagnostic system combining Doppler backscattering (DBS) and cross-polarization scattering (CPS) is under development. It is essential to understand the propagation of injected and scattered rays to support the electronic/quasi-optical design and subsequent interpretation of the detected signals of the multi-channel DBS/CPS measurements. Thus, ray-tracing analysis with the axisymmetric ray-tracing code BORAY has been performed to estimate the scattering location and wavenumbers of the density and magnetic fluctuations. In addition, the influence of accordance between toroidal and poloidal launch angles is investigated. The received DBS/CPS signal quality can be improved by matching the parallel wavenumber in the direction of magnetic field lines.

High-flux solar furnaces are valuable tools for applied research and development in solar energy. However, misalignment of concentrator facets can produce optical losses and lower the concentration ratio of these systems. This study proposes a practical method to align a faceted solar furnace.

However, the representation of NURBS surfaces has complicated the analysis of these systems, leading to a significant computational burden. To address this challenge, we propose an optimizing algorithm for imaging optical systems based on high-precision ray tracing of NURBS surfaces.

- The article addresses the challenge of image positioning accuracy in high-resolution cameras caused by environmental disturbances and line-of-sight variations during operation.
- It proposes a real-time monitoring system (LoS Var RTMS) that integrates a high-resolution camera with a star tracker and utilizes laser technology to improve calibration and accuracy.
- To counteract issues with stray light affecting the system's performance, a new analysis method is introduced alongside a polarization filtering mechanism designed to minimize the impact of stray light, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the monitoring system.
In the realm of active polarization detection systems, the imperative for polarization illumination systems with high-uniformity and predefined-shape irradiance distribution is evident. This paper introduces a novel anamorphic aspheric (AAS) microlens array (MLA) integral polarization homogenizer, incorporating projection MLA (PMLA), condenser MLA (CMLA), polarization film (PF), and a sub-image array (SIA) mask based on Kohler illumination principles. Firstly, the optimal design of an AAS-based projection sub-lens is proposed to facilitate the creation of a short-working-distance, predefined-geometric and sharp polarization irradiance tailoring.

Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) technologies offer significant potential as renewable energy sources, particularly when integrated with storage systems. To address the challenges of energy transport and re-radiation losses, beam-down configurations combined with paraboloid-type dish concentrators provide a compact and efficient solution. In this study, we perform an optical analysis of a Cassegrain concentrator using the open-source software OTSunWebApp, a ray-tracing program that allows for the spectral optical analysis of solar collectors.
