Abstract

Conventional solar cells do not use photons with energy less than the band gap. Upconversion uses sensitizers to enable capture of the remaining light. Since upconversion is a nonlinear process, efficient device design requires detailed knowledge of the coupling of sunlight to the sensitizer. This chapter describes the properties of the principal components of an upconversion-augmented solar cell.
