A luminescent concentrator (LC) is a nonimaging optical device used fo
r collecting light energy. Asa result of its unique properties, a LC a
lso offers the possibility of separating different portions of the spe
ctrum and concentrating them at the same time. Hence, LC's can be appl
ied to a whole range of problems requiring the collection, manipulatio
n, and distribution or measurement of light. Furthermore, as described
in our previous research, thin-film LC elements can be deposited dire
ctly over sensor and processing electronics in the form of integrated
LC devices. As an aid to further research, the materials and technolog
y required to fabricate these thin-film LC elements through the use of
an ultraviolet-curable photopolymer are documented in detail.
