Silicon-Based Luminescent Solar Concentrator

Caption

While most of the light concentrated to the edge of the silicon-based luminescent solar concentrator is actually invisible, we can better see the concentration effect by the naked eye when the slab is illuminated by a "black light" which is composed of mostly ultraviolet wavelengths.
