Discrete frequency infrared (DFIR) chemical imaging is transforming the practice of microspectroscopy by enabling a diversity of instrumentation and new measurement capabilities. While a variety of hardware implementations have been realized, considerations in the design of all-IR microscopes have not yet been compiled. Here we describe the evolution of IR microscopes, provide rationales for design choices, and the major considerations for each optical component that together comprise an imaging system. We analyze design choices in illustrative examples that use these components to optimize performance, under their particular constraints. We then summarize a framework to assess the factors that determine an instrument’s performance mathematically. Finally, we summarize the design and analysis approach by enumerating performance figures of merit for spectroscopic imaging data that can be used to evaluate the capabilities of imaging systems or suitability for specific intended applications. Together, the presented concepts and examples should aid in understanding available instrument configurations, while guiding innovations in design of the next generation of IR chemical imaging spectrometers.

This paper addresses the necessary procedures that need to be considered when designing an optical sub-system of low concentrator photovoltaic (LCPV) module. CPV systems make use of optical elements and solar tracking to concentrate solar flux onto a photovoltaic (PV) receiver. The performance of a concentrator module is highly dependent on the configuration and alignment of the optical elements in the system. In this study, various design considerations were taken into account to construct a LCPV module that was characterised with respect to optical design and electrical performance
