    摘要: Methods for optical restricting are described. An example of the invention relates to a method of restricting the brightness of a light source. The method can include: absorbing, in absorber material of a photo-restrictor, at least a portion of a primary emission produced by the light source; producing first photoexcitations in the absorber material characterized by a first excitation density; transferring the first photoexcitations from the absorber material to an emitter material of the photo-restrictor thereby producing second photoexcitations characterized by a second excitation density; and producing a secondary emission from the emitter material.

    摘要: A stretchable photovoltaic device, a stretchable photovoltaic module and a carrier for facilitating formation of a stretchable photovoltaic device and/or module are provided. The stretchable photovoltaic device includes a stretchable part, at least one photovoltaic cell and a surface over which that at least one photovoltaic cell is disposed. The stretchable part has a given length that is operable to change in response to a force being applied to the device. The given length may, for example, elongate when the force causes the device to elongate. Alternative and/or additionally, the given length may compress when the force causes the device to compress.
