The work presents the design of a diffraction back grating for light-trapping in thin-film GaAs-based quantum dot solar cells. Uni-periodic and bi-periodic gratings made of off-theshelf almost transparent dielectric materials routinely used in photolithography are considered. Gratings are wave-optics simulated by rigorous coupled wave analysis. Optimizing the shape and geometrical aspect ratio of the grating, almost quadrupled photocurrent from quantum dots is demonstrated.

Abstract

The work presents the design of a diffraction back grating for light-trapping in thin-film GaAs-based quantum dot solar cells. Uni-periodic and bi-periodic gratings made of off-theshelf almost transparent dielectric materials routinely used in photolithography are considered. Gratings are wave-optics simulated by rigorous coupled wave analysis. Optimizing the shape and geometrical aspect ratio of the grating, almost quadrupled photocurrent from quantum dots is demonstrated.
