Abstract: 
Today, the advancement of optical systems that can harness clean and renewable energy sources is a major focus for researchers and innovators worldwide. As we strive to create a sustainable future, this challenge has become increasingly critical to our success. Fresnel lenses are widely used as traditional concentrators, but they have a small acceptance angle, and the reflective elements need continuous maintenance of the surface reflectivity. Transmitting Holographic Optical Elements (HOEs) are an alternative to conventional lenses because they are more economical and versatile. Their material is usually a flexible photopolymer so that the optical element can be attached to different types of support, depending on whether one type of handling is required or another, and they tend to have low weight and volume, as well as a simple way of manufacturing. In addition, also provide an extended focusing area which helps to protect solar cells from heating damage. A theoretical and experimental study on the shrinkage of multiplexed holographic lenses (MHL) that were stored in a low-toxicity photopolymer was carried out. To accomplish the study, a K-space tool was used. Furthermore, an optimization analysis of the angular distance between peaks was performed. To determine efficiency, an evaluation of the short-circuit current under solar illumination with varying incident reconstruction angles was done.
