Optical reflection, or in other words the loss of reflection, from a surface becomes
increasingly crucial in determining the extent of the light-matter interaction. The simplest …

Optical anti-reflection means the decrease of reflection as much as possible, which has
been used in many fields such as solar cells, diodes, optical and optoelectronic devices …

Multijunction solar cells are effective for increasing the power conversion efficiency beyond
that of single-junction cells. Indeed, the highest solar cell efficiencies have been achieved …

Semitransparent organic photovoltaic cells (ST-OPVs) are emerging as a solution for solar
energy harvesting on building facades, rooftops, and windows. However, the trade-off …

In 1880, by studying light passing through Earth's atmosphere, Lord Rayleigh
mathematically demonstrated that graded-refractive-index layers have broadband …

Building‐integrated photovoltaics employing transparent photovoltaic cells on window
panes provide an opportunity to convert solar energy to electricity rather than generating …

Thin film deposition is the most ubiquitous and critical of the processes used to manufacture
high-tech devices such as microprocessors, memories, solar cells, microelectromechanical …

Solid-state light sources are in the process of profoundly changing the way humans
generate light for general lighting applications. Solid-state light sources possess two highly …

To harness the full spectrum of solar energy, Fresnel reflection at the surface of a solar cell
must be eliminated over the entire solar spectrum and at all angles. Here, we show that a …

Visibly transparent luminescent solar concentrators (TLSC) can optimize both power
production and visible transparency by selectively harvesting the invisible portion of the …
