Abstract

See full text

Apparatus and methods related to photonic energy are provided. A device includes a reflector bearing a surface treatment and defining one or more photonic energy-concentrating areas. Target entities such as photovoltaic cells or thermal absorption conduits are disposed at the respective photonic energy-concentrating locations. A transparent cover can be used to protect the reflector. A foam material characterized by structural rigidity is disposed between and in contact with the backside of the reflector and a support housing. The assembled device resists bending, twisting or other deformation by virtue of the rigidity of the foam material.
