An optical concentrator device includes a radiation receiving area, a radiation emitting area, two spaced reflecting surfaces and between the reflecting surfaces a host material incorporating within it a fluorescent dye, wherein the dye comprises a complex of the formula ML6Z, where: M represents a metal selected from Ru(II), Os(II) and Ir(III); L6 represents a plurality of ligands satisfying six valencies of M, at least one of which ligands is provided by a heterocyclic organic molecule containing at least one non-metal atom capable of ligand-bonding to the metal M; and Z represents one or more ions associated with MLe, Z being present when ML6 carries an overall ionic charge and absent when ML6 carries no overall ionic charge, Z having an overall ionic charge equal and opposite to the overall ionic charge of ML6.
The device may be a solar collector device, a fluorescent light activated display (FLAD) or a dye laser.
