Thirty Years of Luminescent Solar Concentrator Research: Solar Energy for the Built Environment
TL;DR: The luminescent solar concentrator (LSC) is a simple device at its heart, employing a polymeric or glass waveguide and luminecent molecules to generate electricity from sunlight when attached to a photovoltaic cell as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supramolecular Luminescent Sensors
TL;DR: Specific focus is placed on the development of new macrocycle hosts since 2010, coupled with considerations of the underlying principles of supramolecular chemistry as well as analytes of interest and common luminophores.

The Hidden Potential of Luminescent Solar Concentrators
TL;DR: In this article, the luminescent solar concentrator (LSC) is shown to be a powerful and highly adaptive photonic platform with many more capabilities and potential than only generating electricity from sunlight, and the main goal of this work is to shed light onto this alternative application space and highlight the LSC's unique spectral manipulation, light distribution, and light concentration properties.

Solar Energy Conversion with Fluorescent Collectors
A. Goetzberger,W. Greubel +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new principle for solar energy conversion is proposed and evaluated theoretically, and the optical path length in a triangular collector is computed, which offers the advantage of separating the various fractions of light and converting them with solar cells with different bandgaps.

Luminescent solar concentrators. 2: Experimental and theoretical analysis of their possible efficiencies.
TL;DR: Three independent techniques for measuring self-absorption rates are developed, time-resolved emission, steady-state polarization anisotropy, and spectral convolution, and simple relationships relating the efficiency and gain of an LSC to key spectroscopic parameters of its constituents are given.
