Feature issue introduction: Optical Devices and Materials for Solar Energy and Solid-state Lighting (PVLED) 2019

“…In previous years [2][3][4][5][6], the OSA supported a feature issue following each Congress as a whole, which covered a wide range of topics. For the first time this year, a special issue solely dedicated to Optical Devices and Materials for Solar Energy and Solid-state Lighting (PVLED) has been prepared.…”
