Limitations of conventional X-ray mammography has induced a recent interest into radio frequency based diagnostic approaches in order to take advantage of the sharpest dielectric contrast between benign and malignant breast tissues in the microwave frequency range [1]. Dielectric contrast is notably higher than the radiographic density exploited by X-ray mammography. Consequences of the superior sensitivity of RF-based techniques can have a huge social and cost impact. By reducing the false response percent, a dramatic reduction of costs for the health system together with a diminution of traumatic experiences for the patients can be achieved. The antenna properties play a …

Abstract: Solar concentrators can be used to reduce the cost of photovoltaic electrical power generation by collecting incident solar radiation from a given aperture area and transmitting the energy to a reduced area. In doing so, the overall cost of power (Wp) can be reduced as less area of photovoltaic is required. This paper will discuss Holographic Solar Concentrators fabricated in an acrylamide photopolymer , describing the optical recording process and showing how the fabricated HOE’s can be used in solar concentrator devices. Preliminary lifetime studies are also discussed.
