Luminescent greenhouse solar collectors are potentially useful for concentrating sunlight onto photovoltaic power cells. Measurements of the performance of small-scale collectors made of two commercially available materials (Owens-Illinois ED2 neodymium-doped laser glass and rhodamine 6G-doped plastic) are presented. The results are encouraging, but they indicate a need for further spectral sensitization and for reduced matrix loss coefficient. The measurements with monochromatic illumination agree with the predictions of a mathematical model developed to take account of reemission following the absorption of luminescence. Under solar illumination, the model predicts photon flux concentrations of about 15 for optimized full-scale collectors made of the materials studied and concentrations of 110 for reasonably improved glass.
发光温室太阳能集热器有可能用于将阳光聚集到光伏电池上。本文介绍了由两种市售材料（欧文斯-伊利诺伊公司的ED2掺钕激光玻璃和罗丹明6G掺杂塑料）制成的小规模集热器的性能测量结果。结果令人鼓舞，但表明需要进一步进行光谱增敏并降低基质损耗系数。单色照明下的测量结果与为考虑发光吸收后的再发射而开发的数学模型的预测结果相符。在太阳光照射下，该模型预测，对于由所研究材料制成的优化全尺寸集热器，光子通量浓度约为15，对于经过合理改进的玻璃，光子通量浓度为110。
