Abstract
Outdoor measurements of luminescent solar concentrators based on polymer optical fibers that are doped with two organic dyes distributed either uniformly or peripherally in the cross section are reported. The output spectra from both types of doped fibers are compared experimentally and theoretically using a Monte-Carlo computational model. The analysis of parameters of luminescent solar concentrators, such as the external photon efficiency and the concentration factor, serves to test our fiber manufacturing procedure and to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of uniform and peripheral dye distributions. Complementary analyses for peripherally doped fibers with optimized characteristics are also included.
期刊介绍:
Innovations in optical fiber technology are revolutionizing world communications. Newly developed fiber amplifiers allow for direct transmission of high-speed signals over transcontinental distances without the need for electronic regeneration. Optical fibers find new applications in data processing. The impact of fiber materials, devices, and systems on communications in the coming decades will create an abundance of primary literature and the need for up-to-date reviews.
Optical Fiber Technology: Materials, Devices, and Systems is a new cutting-edge journal designed to fill a need in this rapidly evolving field for speedy publication of regular length papers. Both theoretical and experimental papers on fiber materials, devices, and system performance evaluation and measurements are eligible, with emphasis on practical applications.
