Title: Maikel Hernandez: Innovator in Optical Systems

Introduction

Maikel Hernandez is a prominent inventor based in Madrid, Spain. He has made significant contributions to the field of optical systems, holding a total of 8 patents. His innovative designs focus on enhancing light sources and improving optical performance.

Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is the Shell Integrator, which features a luminaire with a light source and a transparent dome that acts as a shell integrator. The dome is designed with inner and outer surfaces formed as arrays of lenslets, allowing for efficient light management. Each lenslet on the inner surface images the light source onto the respective lenslet of the outer surface, creating a virtual image that enhances the light output. The dome is typically hemispherical, and the system may be integrated with a collimator.

Another notable patent is the Stepped Flow-Line Concentrators and Collimators. This optical system includes a first optical surface, a faceted second optical surface, and a faceted third optical surface. It effectively converts a first bundle of rays into a second bundle while maintaining continuity in phase space. The design allows for discrete sub-bundles of rays to pass between the surfaces, optimizing the optical performance.
