a Schematic illustration of a fiber-coupled broadband light source. Quantum dots (QDs) are incorporated into small fiber-coupled luminescent concentrators (FC-LCs). b Photographs of a fiber-coupled luminescent concentrator with peak emission at 590 excited by a blue LED flashlight. c Photographs of the prototype FC-LCs devices for agricultural deployment. The inset depicts emissions during exposure to large-area blue LED lighting. d 82 collectors arrayed over a row of tomato plants in a commercial greenhouse. e Total harvested tomato weight (per plant) each month from the plants grown with and without FC-LCs.
