Glasses for luminescent solar concentrators

Two glass types for luminescent solar concentrators are presented: Type 1 is a silicate glass activated with Yb 2O 3, Nd 2O 3 and Cr 2O 3. This type shows luminescence in the region 970–1080 nm. It is possible to use it in combination with a silicon detector. The glass type 2 is a borosilicate glass...

Description
Summary:Two glass types for luminescent solar concentrators are presented: Type 1 is a silicate glass activated with Yb 2O 3, Nd 2O 3 and Cr 2O 3. This type shows luminescence in the region 970–1080 nm. It is possible to use it in combination with a silicon detector. The glass type 2 is a borosilicate glass activated with UO 2. Its wavelength region of luminescence is 510–560 nm. It can be used in combination with a CdS/Cu 2S or GaAs photodetector respectively.
