Analysis of the Rigorous Coupled Wave Approach for p-polarized light in gratings
Benjamin J. Civiletti, Akhlesh Lakhtakia, Peter B. Monk
We study the convergence properties of the two-dimensional Rigorous Coupled Wave Approach (RCWA) for p-polarized monochromatic incident light. The RCWA is a semi-analytical numeric…
Coupled Optoelectronic Simulation and Optimization of Thin-Film Photovoltaic Solar Cells
Tom H. Anderson, Benjamin J. Civiletti, Peter Monk +1
A design tool was formulated for optimizing the efficiency of inorganic, thin-film, photovoltaic solar cells. The solar cell can have multiple semiconductor layers in addition to a…
Analysis of the Rigorous Coupled Wave Approach for s-Polarized Light in Gratings
Benjamin J. Civiletti, Akhlesh Lakhtakia, Peter B. Monk
We study the convergence properties of the two-dimensional Rigorous Coupled Wave Approach (RCWA) for s-polarized monochromatic incident light. The RCWA is widely used to solve elec…
Optimization approach for optical absorption in three-dimensional structures including solar cells
Benjamin J. Civiletti, Tom H. Anderson, Faiz Ahmad +2
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 th…
On optical-absorption peaks in a nonhomogeneous thin-film solar cell with a two-dimensional periodically corrugated metallic backreflector
Faiz Ahmad, Tom H. Anderson, Benjamin J. Civiletti +2
The rigorous coupled wave approach (RCWA) was implemented to investigate optical absorption in a triple-p-i-n-junction amorphous-silicon solar cell with a 2D metallic periodically…
