The concentration profile at the SOE's exit aperture under various illumination conditions is obtained by imaging a transmissive diffuser via a CCD camera. This method is very fast, easy and can be used to identify deviations from designed shape of the SOEs. To compare different samples quantitatively a simulation model was set up. In this paper we describe the experimental setup, present results for different refractive SOEs made of glass and estimate the loss in a Fresnel lens based CPV system due to the identified errors.enSolarthermie und OptikIII-V und Konzentrator-PhotovoltaikAngewandte Optik und funktionale OberflächenKonzentrator-OptikKonzentratoroptik621Indoor characterization of secondary optical elementsconference paper
