Control over the interplay between electromagnetic radiation and matter is central to optimize the performance of energy conversion devices such as solar cells or LEDs. In this talk, the fundamental photonic concepts behind efficiency enhancement in energy conversion devices, as well as a variety of approaches to prepare and integrate photonic materials in such devices, will be presented. Photonic crystals, aperiodic media, plasmonic nanostructures, corrugated surfaces and optically disordered media are among the different kinds of materials that will be discussed.[1-5] For each case, a specific example of integration in a device and its effect on the related energy conversion process (namely, luminous to electric, electric to luminous, luminous to thermal, luminous to luminous) will be presented.
