Enhanced Photon Extraction using Spherical Micro-Dome Spectral Conversion Layers for Next-Generation Greenhouses
Spherical micro-dome luminescent down-shifting (LDS) thin foils achieve over 80% intrinsically trapped photon extraction in the forward direction, significantly outperforming planar and thick-slab designs. This robust approach enhances photosynthetically active radiation essential for plant growth.
