Functionalizing the rear scatterer in a luminescent solar concentrator

Michael G. Debije and Wouter Dekkers Luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) are presented that use a rear scattering layer made of a phosphorescent material for improving the use of the incident solar light spectrum. Besides simply scattering incident light that passes through the waveguide proper, the phosphor can absorb blue light an ... [J.
