Efficiency enhancement in Si solar cells by textured photonic crystal back reflector
Lingping Zeng,Yasha Yi,Ching-yin Hong,Jifeng Liu,Ning-Ning Feng,Xiaoman Duan,Lionel C. Kimerling,Bernard A. Alamariu +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, an efficient light-trapping scheme was developed for solar cells that can enhance the optical path length by several orders of magnitude using a textured photonic crystal as a backside reflector.
Journal ArticleDOI
Demonstration of enhanced absorption in thin film Si solar cells with textured photonic crystal back reflector
Lingping Zeng,Peter Bermel,Yasha Yi,Bernard A. Alamariu,Kurt Broderick,Jifeng Liu,Ching-yin Hong,Xiaoman Duan,John D. Joannopoulos,Lionel C. Kimerling +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the textured photonic crystal (TPC) backside reflector was applied to thin-film Si solar cells to increase the short-circuit current density.
Journal ArticleDOI
New Solar Cells with Novel Light Trapping via Textured Photonic Crystal Back Reflector
Lirong Zeng,Yasha Yi,Ching-yin Hong,Bernard A. Alamariu,Jifeng Liu,Xiaoman Duan,Lionel C. Kimerling +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a light-trapping scheme for solar cells that can enhance the optical path length by more than 104 times using a textured photonic crystal structure as a backside reflector was developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization of Textured Photonic Crystal Backside Reflector for Si Thin Film Solar Cells
Lirong Zeng,Peter Bermel,Yasha Yi,Ning Ning Feng,Bernard A. Alamariu,Ching-yin Hong,Xiaoman Duan,John D. Joannopoulos,Lionel C. Kimerling +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a textured photonic crystal was introduced into Si thin film solar cells and the Scattering Matrix method was used to systematically optimize all the parameters of the two components of the backside reflector, grating and distributed Bragg reflector.
