Photon frequency management for trapping & concentration of sunlight

This paper considers a range of techniques which - within the realm of classical optics - can be used to enhance light capture as a first step in photovoltaic energy conversion. Examples include a simple case of downshifting, fluorescent collectors which reduce the size of a light beam, and a novel...
