Abstract

Mejoras introducidas en un dispositivo colector y concentrador solar luminiscente que consta de unos medios de captación de radiación para recibir la radiación solar incidente, conteniendo dichos medios al menos una especie luminiscente capaz de emitir una radiación luminiscente por excitación por la radiación solar incidente, siendo dichos medios total e internamente reflectores de la mayor parte de dicha radiación luminiscente emitida, consistiendo las mejoras en que dichos medios de captación de la radiación están constituídos por una estructura compuesta que comprende una capa delgada que contiene al menos una especie luminiscente, estando dicha capa acoplada ópticamente a una capa gruesa conductora de la radiación de al menos 0,5 mm de espesor, capa gruesa que: (1) es total e internamente reflectora de la mayor parte de dicha radiación luminiscente emitida, (2) tiene un índice de refracción próximo al de dicha capa delgada, y (3) tiene una relación de espesor a dicha capa luminiscentedelgada mayor que 4:1.Improvements introduced in a luminescent solar collector and concentrator device consisting of radiation capture means to receive incident solar radiation, said means containing at least one luminescent species capable of emitting luminescent radiation by excitation by incident solar radiation, said being Totally and internally reflecting means for most of said emitted luminescent radiation, the improvements consisting in that said radiation capture means are made up of a composite structure that comprises a thin layer that contains at least one luminescent species, said layer being coupled optically to a thick radiation-conducting layer of at least 0.5 mm thickness, which thick layer is: (1) totally and internally reflective of most of said emitted luminescent radiation, (2) has a refractive index close to to that of said thin layer, and (3) has a thickness ratio to said luminous layer thinner greater than 4:1.
