Multi-bandgap High-efficiency Photovoltaics Enabled by Broadband Diffractive Optics

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We describe a novel approach to improve efficiency of photovoltaics via a microstructured broadband diffractive optic that spectrally splits and concentrates incident sunlight onto multiple laterally separated solar cells of different bandgaps.
