Journal of Photonics for Energy

Editor-in-Chief: Sean Shaheen, University of Colorado Boulder, USA

The Journal of Photonics for Energy (JPE) covers fundamental and applied research areas focused on the applications of photonics for renewable energy harvesting, conversion, storage, distribution, monitoring, consumption, and efficient usage.

On the cover: LBIC mapping in solar cells, from the article "Luminescent coupling effect in InGaP/GaAs/InGaAs inverted metamorphic triple-junction solar cell," by Vaishnavi Thakur, Bernice Mae Yu Jeco-Espaldon, and Yoshitaka Okada in Volume 14 Issue 1.
