Photon upconversion with directed emission
Photon upconversion can be used to harvest low energy photons, which are otherwise lost in solar cells. Here, Börjesson et al. use a well-oriented liquid crystal matrix to host the upconversion system in order to emit upconverted photons in a preferential direction, where the solar cells would be lo...

| Summary: | Photon upconversion can be used to harvest low energy photons, which are otherwise lost in solar cells. Here, Börjesson et al. use a well-oriented liquid crystal matrix to host the upconversion system in order to emit upconverted photons in a preferential direction, where the solar cells would be located. |
