Title:
光電池装置用放射集束器
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4511052
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
Concentrator for use with photovoltaic devices includes a waveguide (2) incorporating quantum dots. The quantum dots red-shift the incident radiation to produce red-shifted radiation which is internally reflected within the waveguide (2). A photovoltaic device (10) converts the red-shifted radiation to electrical energy.
