Optical Visible Wavelength Region Selective Reflector Design For Photovoltaic Cells Using Photonic Crystal, Veysel Korkmaz, Ali̇ Çeti̇n

Turkish Journal of Physics

In this study, we have proposed an optical broadband angular reflector having a band selective feature and high reflectivity rate for photovoltaic implementations by using a photonic crystal structure made of two different dielectric layers. This paper presents new and useful information about a reflector that was designed by using a periodic structure composed of two Si based layers for the visible range in the solar spectrum region. The system has been adjusted in such a way that it could cover a wide wavelength area between the photonic band gaps at nearly λ ≈ 300-800 nm. We have tested the …
