Upper bounds for absorption enhancement in thin solar cells

We have developed a general framework for multi-resonant absorption: we provide light-trapping upper bounds in solar cells, resolving a tension between numerical results and theoretical limits. We also discuss the implications for optimal light-trapping strategies.

Abstract

We have developed a general framework for multi-resonant absorption: we provide light-trapping upper bounds in solar cells, resolving a tension between numerical results and theoretical limits. We also discuss the implications for optimal light-trapping strategies.
