...UV) and infrared (IR) spectrums.
The science of selective absorption
Most TPV technologies use organic salts or specialized thin-film layers that act as a 'glow-in-the-dark' material for non-visible light. These materials absorb high-energy UV and heat-carrying IR waves and move them to the edges of the glass.
At the p...
