The fundamentals of fluorescence.

Luminescent Solar Concentrator Paintings: Connecting Art and Energy

“…For this demonstration, we have developed a solar module design kit for making artistic and colorful LSC paintings. The principles of fluorescence − and solar energy harvesting, , as well as the production of photovoltaic devices − have all been previously examined in this Journal . With a combination of these topics in a single demonstration, students are engaged in the understanding of optics, waveguides, energy transport, solar energy, and the necessity of renewable energy generating devices while producing a device that can be kept as a reminder of these principles.…”
