Studies on Pr3+–Yb3+ codoped ZBLA as rare earth down convertor glasses for solar cells encapsulation

Plasmon-Assisted Efficiency Enhancement of Eu3+-Doped Tellurite Glass-Covered Solar Cells

“…[6][7][8] However, a relatively small number of papers have reported the efficiency behavior of solar cells under the modified spectrum. [9][10][11][12][13] On the other hand, the SPR has also been explored to improve the efficiency of thin-film solar cells by increasing the light absorption through the light-scattering and nearfield concentration of light when metallic nanoparticles are incorporated into or on the solar cell. 14 These works show that the SPR is an interesting mechanism to improve solar cell efficiency.…”

Investigations on structural and luminescence behavior of Er3+ doped Lithium Zinc borate glasses for lasers and optical amplifier applications

“…Lanthanide doped glasses have wide applications in various fields such as optical amplifiers, optical materials, temperature sensors and solar concentrators [1][2][3][4]. Generally glass host is more preferable than crystalline host because of the fact that glass can be produced in large volumes with high optical homogeneity and free of absorbing particle; it possesses low non-linear refractive indices and acts as a good elastic matrix by accepting large concentration of RE ions.…”

Photoluminescence Enhancement of SiO2‐Coated LaPO4:Eu3+ Inverse Opals by Surface Plasmon Resonance of Ag Nanoparticles

“…Photoluminescence (PL) properties from rare earth ions have attracted much attention for their potential application in the light‐emitting devices, spectral conversion of solar cells, and luminescence sensors . The PL manipulation from rare earth ions is a fundamental problem faced in their applications.…”

“…P HOTOLUMINESCENCE (PL) properties from rare earth ions have attracted much attention for their potential application in the light-emitting devices, spectral conversion of solar cells, and luminescence sensors. [1][2][3][4][5] The PL manipulation from rare earth ions is a fundamental problem faced in their applications. Photonic crystals with periodic variation in refractive index provide a good solution to the modification in PL from rare earth ions.…”
