An integrated solar concentrator and tracker is constructed from a beam deflector
for unpolarized light in combination with a fixed optical condenser. The one-dimensional
beam deflector consists of a pair of prism arrays made from a material whose refractive
index can be varied by applying an electric field. Two of the one-dimensional concentrators
can be arranged with their faces in contact and with their prism arrays perpendicular
to construct a two-dimensional beam deflector. The intensity and distribution of
an applied field modifies the refractive index of the individual prisms in order
to keep direction of the deflected beam fixed as the incident beam shifts. When
the beam deflector is used with the fixed concentrator the result is that the position
of the focus remains fixed as the source moves.
