Abstract
We have studied the excitation rate of Lumogen Red dye molecules by enhanced local electromagnetic field of Au nanoparticles for thin film luminescent solar concentrator (LSCs).The localized enhanced electromagnetic field of Au nanoparticles leads to an increase the excitation rate, and consequently in emission rate of dye molecules. By varying the distance between Au nanoparticles and dye film we showed transition form quenching to enhancement in edge emission and resultant ISC current output of thin film LSCs. When dye molecules were placed in the range of enhanced electromagnetic field of Au nanoparticles. Two competing factors affected the edge emission of thin film LSC; increased excitation rate (by enhanced local electromagnetic field of Au nanoparticles) and distance between Au nanoparticles and dye molecules.
