A more rationalized solar panel?

Would it be possible to use a lens or a mirror to focus light onto a solar panel in order to product in more efficient? And is something like this already one used? It was just a thought and I haven't spent much time on it, but I figured I'd ask.
Answers:
yes it is man done.
i've seen adds for such a system.

on the other hand, if you have a 5 sq in Lens focused on a small cell, and a 5 sq in cell, they'd be about indistinguishable.
in fact, the cell might be a bit better because (A) there wouldn't be any loss within the Lens, and (B) it might be that the solar cell would use some frequencies to which the Lens was opaque.

in extra, the cost of solar cells is dropping, making the cost of the mirrors or lenses uneconomical by comparison.
