On improving the short-wavelength response and efficiency of photovoltaic modules via luminescent down-shifting of the incident light

This thesis investigates the technology of luminescent down-shifting (LDS) of light for improving the short-wavelength response and efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) modules. A critical literature review of previously published work is presented identifying the opportunity to include the luminescent s...
