A luminescent solar radiation concentrator is disclosed. Incident radiation of flux phi 1, and wavelength lambda 1, impinges enclosure wall V1 having a double index of refraction n1, n2 (where n2>n1) and then is absorbed by cascade fluorescent concentrator/converter CL, which isotropically re-emits fluorescent radiation at wavelength lambda 2 and flux phi 2 (where lambda 2> lambda 1, and phi 2> phi 1) which then is absorbed by a solar photovoltaic cell. The double index of refraction wall prevents escape of fluorescence radiation from the enclosure. |
