Efficiency Enhancement of Si Solar Cells by Using Nanostructured Single and Double Layer Anti-Reflective Coatings
The effect of single and double-layer anti-reflective coatings on efficiency enhancement of silicon solar cells was investigated. The reflectance of different anti-reflection structures were calculated using the transfer matrix method and then to predict the performance of solar cells coated by these structures, the weighted average reflectance curves were used as an input of a PC1D simulation....
متن کاملThe hybrid concept for realization of an ultra-thin plasmonic metamaterial antireflection coating and plasmonic rainbow.
We report on the design, simulation, fabrication, and characterization of a novel two layer anti-reflective coating (ARC) based on a plasmonic metamaterial and a dielectric. Promoted by the strong material dispersion of the plasmonic metamaterial, our novel concept (called hybrid ARC) combines two possible arrangements for layers in an anti-reflection coating into a single structure; albeit at ...
متن کاملSelf-assembled nanostructures for antireflection optical coatings
We report the first results of self-assembled nanostructures using colloids for antireflection optical coatings. Two-dimensional (2D) periodic nano-structures were made by using self-assembled 2D colloidal crystals on top of a transparent substrate. An atomic force microscope was used to evaluate the quality of the nanostructure. The feature size of the structures was around 105 nm. This sub-wa...
متن کاملSurface structured optical coatings with near-perfect broadband and wide-angle antireflective properties.
Optical thin-film coatings are typically limited to designs where the refractive index varies in only a single dimension. However, additional control over the propagation of incoming light is possible by structuring the other two dimensions. In this work, we demonstrate a three-dimensional surface structured optical coating that combines the principles of thin-film optical design with bio-inspi...
متن کاملNear Sub-Wavelength Texturization Of Silicon Surfaces For Solar Cell Applications
Anti-reflection coatings (ARC) of dielectrics help in balancing the refractive index mismatch between silicon and air as result reducing the reflection losses but they do not cause bending of light rays which is essential for efficient light trapping of the injected light into the cell. Texturiaztion helps in both the reduction of reflection losses and light trapping due to bending of the light...
