Abstract

An improved window system for a solar receiver provides a high level of impedance to thermal re-radiation while minimizing Fresnel losses. The window system is characterized by a bundled array of optically transmissive members. In further aspects, a solar receiver employing the window system and a method for manufacture are provided.
