PHOTOCELL WITH FLUORESCENT CONVERSION LAYER
First Claim
1. A photocell device having enhanced conversion efficiency, comprising means for converting light energy to electrical energy in a semiconductor layer, means for converting a first, monochromatic light, to a second light of different wavelength, in a fluorescent layer, means for transmitting said first light through a hot mirror layer at a first surface of said device, means internally for reflecting said second light from said hot mirror layer, and means for internally reflecting said first and said second light from a mirror layer disposed at a second surface of said device.

Abstract
A photocell device having enhanced conversion efficiency. The device is adapted to convert light energy to electrical energy in a semiconductor layer, to convert a first, monochromatic light, to a second light of different wavelength, in a fluorescent layer, to transmit the first light through a hot mirror layer, to reflect light from the hot mirror layer, and to reflect light from a mirror layer disposed at a second surface of the device.
