Photon recycling is leveraged to increase the excess carrier density and consequently the output voltage. Optical resonance yields highest absorptance for near-bandgap photons. Thereby thermalization losses are minimized without compromising minimal transmission. A photovoltaic conversion efficiency of 68.9% for 858 nm monochromatic light is demonstrated.enPhotovoltaikIII-V- und Konzentrator-PhotovoltaikIII-V Epitaxie und SolarzellenPower-by-Light62153069768.9% Efficient GaAs-Based Photonic Power Conversion Enabled by Photon Recycling and Optical Resonance.
