concentrator
Device that focuses
A concentrator is a device that increases the concentration of something—most commonly an oxygen concentrator, which extracts oxygen from ambient air for medical use: She uses a portable concentrator when traveling.
In networking, a concentrator aggregates multiple connections into a single point.
In solar energy, concentrators focus sunlight to increase intensity.
