Complex Photonic Structures for Light Harvesting
Over the last few years, micro- and nanophotonics have roused a strong interest in the scientific community for their promising impact on the development of novel kinds of solar cells. Certain thin- and ultrathin-film solar cells are made of innovative, often cheap, materials which suffer from a low energy conversion efficiency. Light-trapping mechanisms based on nanophotonics principles are pa...
متن کاملLight-Harvesting Complex: Rings of light
The atomic structure of the bacterial light-harvesting complex helps to explain how the energy of sunlight is efficiently absorbed and transferred between bacteriochlorophyll molecules towards the reaction centre.
متن کاملAsymmetric Light Propagation in Active Photonic Structures
This thesis will present a theoretical and numerical analysis of optical systems exhibiting non-reciprocity, with potential applications in the field of integrated opto-electronic circuits. We will carefully engineer structures with highly-asymmetric transport properties, where traits such as reflectance and transmittance are dependent upon the incident direction of the interrogating waves. Thi...
متن کاملEnhancing Light Harvesting in Organic Photovoltaics by Photonic Nanostructures
Organic solar cells have become a suitable photovoltaic technology thanks to their flexibility, scalability and light weight layout. They offer many advantages over the prevalent silicon industry, however, their efficiency is around 11%, still below the usual 20% on commercially available silicon solar panels [1], [2]. In this work, we propose an innovative method to increase light absorption o...
متن کاملReplication of Leaf Surface Structures for Light Harvesting
As one of the most important hosts of natural light harvesting, foliage normally has complicated surface structures to capture solar radiances. Bio-mimicking leaf surface structures can provide novel designs of covers in photovoltaic systems. In this article, we reported on replicating leaf surface structures on poly-(methyl methacrylate) polymers to prompt harvesting efficiencies. Prepared via...
