Broadening of Light Coupling to Waveguide Modes in Solar Cells by Disordered Grating Textures

We investigated the light coupling to waveguide modes in nanophotonic thin-film solar cells exhibiting a tailored disordered grating texture by rigorous optical simulations. Such disordered nanophotonic light trapping concepts have demonstrated enhanced short-circuit current density compared to orde...
