Abstract: | Taking into account the contributions of interference and incoherent multiple reflections of light in the substrate, we have determined the distribution of the absorbed energy density Q in layers of a multilayer photovoltaic cell in the general case of oblique incidence of light on the cell. The relations obtained are expressed in terms of the Fresnel reflection and transmission coefficients for interfaces between media, which for oblique incidence are different for s and p polarization of the incident light. The energy absorbed by an active layer of the cell varies very slightly with the angle of incidence if the maximum in the Q distribution is located at a heterojunction. We carried out a numerical analysis for a five-layer cell based on a copper phthalocyanine-fullerene heterojunction. __________ Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 74, No. 6, pp. 795–800, November–December, 2007. |
