Abstract
Photovoltaic (PV) cells used for optical power transmission convert laser light incident from limited directions to electricity. This illumination condition is in contrast to that for solar cells. A combination of an angular selective filter consisting of a dielectric multilayer on the front surface and a diffuse reflector on the rear surface significantly traps both the incident laser light into and radiation from the PV cell. This light trapping effect can improve the monochromatic conversion efficiency of a GaAs PV cell by 9% (absolute) compared with that for the ×4n2 trapping, under 872 nm and 1 W cm−2 laser illumination.
