The results of the investigations of optical and luminescent properties of PbS suspensions stabilized by high‐molecular polyvinylpyrrolidone are described. Suspensions prepared by liquid colloidal method from sodium sulfide and lead nitrate demonstrate strong luminescence in near infrared spectral range at the excitation by visual light with different wavelengths. It was proposed that Förster resonant energy transfer plays the important role in luminescence properties of closed packed PbS particles. The model, which describes the observed luminescent properties of the suspensions PbS‐stabilized high‐molecular polymer, is proposed. The combination of very wide spectral range of excitation of the luminescence with rather narrow range of light radiation in near infrared spectral range determine wide perspectives of the materials in solar luminescent concentrators and photodetectors.
