Great efforts have been made in the last few years to increase the energy efficiency of solar cells. Among several factors which influence their performance, the light harvesting efficiency is the most relevant factor. In order to reduce the transparency losses of sub-bandgap solar photons, especially for wide gap solar cell materials, the development of up-conversion (UC) coatings to transform near infrared (NIR) light into short-wavelength visible photons is clearly a suitable approach. In spite of recent advances, the development of UC materials involves techniques which are generally not cost effective. This work will primarily focus on the evaluation of UC luminescence in aluminosilicate glass phosphors co-doped with the Tb3+/Yb3+ ion pair and synthesized by sol-gel (SG), a technique which is especially adequate to the deposition of films. The optimization of dopant concentrations has also been investigated, together with the structural, morphological and UC emission study of the coatings obtained. Lastly, a potential demonstrator has been developed in the form of a 1-D photonic crystal (PC) microcavity, in order to integrate the spectral conversion function into a more complex but more efficient structure.
