Optimization approach for optical absorption in three-dimensional structures including solar cells
Optimization approach for optical absorption in three-dimensional structures including solar cells
The rigorous coupled-wave approach (RCWA) and the differential evolution algorithm (DEA) were coupled in a practicable approach to maximize absorption in optical structures with three-dimensional morphology. As a model problem, optimal values of four geometric parameters and the bandgaps of three i-layers were found for an amorphous-silicon, multiterminal, thin-film tandem …
