We report thin-film InAs/GaAs QD solar cells fabricated by epitaxial lift-off of 3-inch wafers containing QD epi-structures with high in-plane QD density. External quantum efficiency measurements demonstrate enhanced QD harvesting in the thin-film configuration. Numerical simulations show that remarkably high increase of the QD photocurrent may be achieved by replacing the planar rear mirror with micro-structured photonic gratings. Measurements of diffraction efficiency of grating prototypes realized on GaAs wafers by nanoimprint lithography are presented.
