Abstract

Luminescent coupling effects are considered crucial for the performance of multijunction solar cells. We report a novel approach based on small signal measurement, which can directly measure the luminescent coupling efficiency of a multijunction solar cell with different voltage bias. In addition, this method demonstrated the light and voltage dependence of the coupling efficiency, and can potentially lead to a deeper understanding of luminescent coupling effects as well as more effective design of multijunction solar cells.
