Enhanced Efficiency of Light-Trapping Nanoantenna Arrays for Thin Film Solar Cells
We suggest a novel concept of efficient light-trapping structures for
thin-film solar cells based on arrays of planar nanoantennas operating far from
plasmonic resonances. The operation principle of our structures relies on the
excitation of chessboard-like collective modes of the nanoantenna arrays with
the field localized between the neighboring metal elements. We demonstrated
theoretically substantial enhancement of solar-cell short-circuit current by
the designed light-trapping structure in the whole spectrum range of the
solar-cell operation compared to conventional structures employing
anti-reflecting coating. Our approach provides a general background for a
design of different types of efficient broadband light-trapping structures for
thin-film solar-cell technologically compatible with large-area thin-film
fabrication techniques
