Since the beginning of the 2000s, LED's performance have known dramatic improvements which enable this technology to settle down in numerous application areas. Driven by the lighting market, LED are characterized by their long lifetime, their ruggedness, and their low cost per emitted optical watt. In order to go beyond LED's brightness, they can be coupled to luminescent concentrators.The first part of this work exposes the development of the first luminescent concentrator in the short-wave infrared (or SWIR corresponding to the 1.2-2.5 µm band where LED have very low powers). This work shows that the brightness of the luminescent concentrators in the SWIR exceeds by one order of magnitude LED's brightness in the same spectral range. This ...
