We demonstrate a novel two-step method for accurate determination of the complex refractive indices of phosphor materials in particulate form. The real part of the refractive index is first measured at a number of selected wavelengths using the Becke Line method; the results are interpolated over a broader wavelength range using Sellmeier's equations. The imaginary part of the refractive index is extracted from measured optical characteristics of polymer layers embedded with phosphor particles; a specialized numerical simulation tool is employed for this purpose. Finally, using the determined complex refractive indices, we numerically investigate the potential of luminescent down-shifting applied to thin-film solution-processed solar cells. We study the influence of the main properties of luminescent down-shifting layers filled with phosphor particles, and indicate the gains in the solar cell performance that can be obtained using this approach.
