Laminated Luminescent Solar Concentrator Patent

Near infrared nir harvesting transparent luminescent solar concentrators tlsc with non tinted transparency are demonstrated by exploiting the excitonic nature of organic luminescent salts that provide perfectly tuned nir selective absorption and even deeper nir emission.

Laminated luminescent solar concentrator patent.

United states patent application 20090120488. The luminescent solar concentrators comprise a composite substrate including two or more films containing luminescent compounds and wavelength selective mirrors which concentrators may be connected to photovoltaic cells. Luminescent solar concentrator devices. And wasielewski michael r abstractnote an optical system and method to overcome luminescent solar concentrator inefficiencies by resonance shifting in which sharply directed emission from a bi layer cavity into a glass substrate returns to.

Luminescent solar concentrator apparatus method and applications es2451966r1 en 2010 11 03. The present invention relates to a luminescent solar concentrator for a solar cell comprising a collector with a luminescent substrate and a wavelength selective filter wherein the wavelength selective filter is arranged above the surface of the collector wherein the luminescent substrate has an absorption edge which corresponds to a wavelength λ ex and emits radiation around a wavelength. Luminescent solar concentrators operate on the principle of collecting radiation over a large area converting it by luminescence specifically by fluorescence and directing the generated radiation into a relatively small output target.

A luminescent solar concentrator lsc is a device for concentrating radiation solar radiation in particular to produce electricity. Abengoa solar pv inc. Samsung electronics co ltd. Abengoa solar pv inc.
