    摘要: [Problem] To provide a light-concentrating mechanism that is suitable for photovoltaic power generation. [Solution] This light-concentrating mechanism comprises an angle selective reflection means that reflects light having an incident angle of at least a first threshold angle and transmits at least some of the light having an incident angle smaller than the first threshold angle, and an angle-increase reflection means that reflects incident light at an angle greater than the incident angle of said light, the two means being arranged so as to have a gap therebetween. The angle-increase reflection means reflects, at an angle that is equal to or greater than the first threshold angle, at least some of the light that has been transmitted by the angle-selective reflection means, and the angle-selective reflection means reflects the light that has been reflected by the angle-increase reflection means and has an angle that is equal to or greater than the first threshold angle, and light is propagated and concentrated by the gap between the angle-selective reflection means and the angle-increase reflection means.

    摘要: A polarization beam splitter is disclosed having reduced size and weight relative to the prior art. The disclosed polarization beam splitter has a translucent substrate and a hologram layer provided on a front surface of the substrate. The polarization beam splitter is capable of separating S-polarized light from light incident on the hologram layer via the substrate, wherein the substrate has a back surface facing the front surface on which the hologram layer is provided, and a side surface connecting the front surface and the back surface. The hologram layer has a hologram for diffracting circularly polarized light incident on the hologram layer from outside the substrate via either the back surface or a portion of the side surface to generate S-polarized light having an extinction ratio of 50:1 or greater toward the other of the back surface or the portion of the side surface.
