Optimizing Photovoltaic Charge Generation of Nanowire Arrays: A Simple Semi-Analytic Approach
Björn C. P. Sturmberg, Kokou B. Dossou, Lindsay C. Botten +4
Nanowire arrays exhibit efficient light coupling and strong light trapping, making them well suited to solar cell applications. The processes that contribute to their absorption ar…
Absorption enhancing proximity effects in aperiodic nanowire arrays
Björn C. P. Sturmberg, Kokou B. Dossou, Lindsay C. Botten +4
Aperiodic Nanowire (NW) arrays have higher absorption than equivalent periodic arrays, making them of interest for photovoltaic applications. An inevitable property of aperiodic ar…
Nanowire array photovoltaics: Radial disorder versus design for optimal efficiency
Björn C. P. Sturmberg, Kokou B. Dossou, Lindsay C. Botten +4
Solar cell designs based on disordered nanostructures tend to have higher efficiencies than structures with uniform absorbers, though the reason is poorly understood. To resolve th…
Canonical quantization of macroscopic electrodynamics in a linear, inhomogeneous magneto-electric medium
A. C. Judge, M. J. Steel, J. E. Sipe +1
We present a canonical quantization of macroscopic electrodynamics. The results apply to inhomogeneous media with a broad class of linear magneto-electric responses which are consi…
Double-heterostructure cavities: from theory to design
Sahand Mahmoodian, J. E. Sipe, Christopher G. Poulton +4
We derive a frequency-domain-based approach for radiation (FAR) from double-heterostructure cavity (DHC) modes. We use this to compute the quality factors and radiation patterns of…
Supermodes of Hexagonal Lattice Waveguide Arrays
J. Scott Brownless, Felix J. Lawrence, Sahand Mahmoodian +3
We present a semi-analytical formulation for calculating the supermodes and corresponding Bloch factors of light in hexagonal lattice photonic crystal waveguide arrays. We then use…
