Experimental coupling process efficiency and benefits of back surface reflectors in photovoltaic multi-junction photonic power converters

Esther Lopez et al.

Summary: This study experimentally quantified the efficiency of luminescence coupling in three-junction photonic power converters based on GaAs/AlGaAs rear hetero-junction subcells. The results showed a coupling process efficiency of 32% +/- 9% from top and middle subcells to the limiting bottom subcell. The observed coupling reduced the current mismatch induced by temperature changes from 4.4% to 1.6% under constant monochromatic illumination. Additionally, the implementation of back surface reflectors in the power converters improved device response at elevated temperatures by redirecting emitted photons towards upper subcells to reinforce luminescence coupling.
