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 کاملEffect of carbon black content on the microwave absorbing properties of CB/epoxy composites
To prevent serious electromagnetic interference, a single-layer and double layer wave-absorbing coating employing complex absorbents composed of carbon black with epoxy resin as matrix was prepared. The morphologies of carbon black /epoxy composites were characterized by scanning electron microscope and atomic force microscope, respectively. The carbon black particles exhibit obvious polyarom...
متن کاملLaser Induced Damage Studies on Al2O3, SiO2, and MgF2 Thin Films for Anti-Reflection Coating Application in High Power Laser Diode
The laser diode facet damage is one of the impeding factors of the high-power laser diode operation. To overcome this restriction laser diode facet coating can be utilized. During the high power operation of the laser diode, it is observed that the single layer anti reflection (AR) coating at the front facet shows optical damage while the multilayer high reflective coating at the back facet rem...
متن کاملINCREASING THE LASER INDUCED DAMAGE THRESHOLD OF SINGLE CRYSTAL ZnGeP2 (PREPRINT)
The laser induced damage threshold (LIDT) of single crystal zinc germanium phosphide (ZGP), ZnGeP2, was increased to 2 J/cm at 2.05 μm and 10 kHz pulse rate frequency (double the previously measured value of 1 J/cm). This increased LIDT was achieved by improving the polishing of ZGP OPO crystals. The surface preparation of ZGP samples was determined to be of great importance because laser-induc...
متن کاملDesign of Silicon Nano-Bars Anti-Reflection Coating to Enhance Thin Film Solar Cells Efficiency
In this paper a novel anti-reflection (AR) coating based on silicon nano-bars is designed and its impact on the performance of crystalline silicon (c-Si) thin-film solar cells is extensively studied. Silicon nano-bars with optimized size and period are embedded on top of the active layer, under a 100nm Si3N4 layer. As a result of the proposed layer stack, an inhomogeneous intermediate layer wit...
