Abstract

In this report we present the experience gained in the controlled manipulation of dichromated gelatin layers used in holographic solar concentrators. The experimental investigation is aimed at the development of procedures leading to the improvement of their diffraction efficiency and bandwidth. Emphasis is placed on the un-derstanding of the phenomena controlling the spacing of the lamellar structure throughout the thickness of the gelatin layer. Controlling the spacing of the lamellae through the depth of the gelatin layer facilitates the enhancement of the bandwidth.
