Increased Photovoltaic Power Output via Diffractive Spectrum Separation

Increased Photovoltaic Power Output via Diffractive Spectrum Separation

In this Letter, we report the preliminary demonstration of a new paradigm for photovoltaic power generation that utilizes a broadband diffractive-optical element (BDOE) to efficiently separate sunlight into laterally spaced spectral bands. These bands are then absorbed by single-junction photovoltai...
