Most solar cells cannot utilise infrared light, as the photons in this spectral region are not energetic enough to promote electrons across the energy threshold. This project will harvest this low energy light, and by 'gluing' the photons together in a process known as upconversion, the project will improve the light harvesting efficiencies of solar cells.

大多数太阳能电池无法利用红外光，因为该光谱区域中的光子能量不足以促进电子跨越能量阈值。该项目将收集这种低能量的光，并通过在称为上转换的过程中将光子“粘合”在一起，该项目将提高太阳能电池的光收集效率。
