The influence of luminescent coupling and semi-transparency on Voc is eliminated by over-illuminating all subcells below this subcell with a preceding light pulse. By using a suns-Voc approach, the two-diode model dark saturation currents of each subcell are extracted. The proposed method is verified experimentally as well as through simulations on three and four-junction solar cells.enMaterialien - Solarzellen und TechnologiePhotovoltaikIII-V und Konzentrator-PhotovoltaikIII-V Epitaxie und Solarzellencellselectroluminescensecell characterisation621Determination of subcell open circuit voltages and Iph-Voc curves in multijunction solar cells by sequentially pulsed, monochromatic illuminationjournal article
