Quasiperiodic plasmonic crystals enhance solar cell absorption regardless of light angle. A Fano model accurately predicts their optical properties for normal and oblique light incidence.

Area of Science:

  • Nanophotonics
  • Plasmonics
  • Solid State Physics

Background:

  • Nanophotonic structures with irregular symmetry, like quasiperiodic plasmonic crystals, are gaining attention for enhancing solar cell absorption.
  • Angularly insensitive absorption is crucial for efficient solar energy conversion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the photonic bandstructure and optical properties of 2D metallic photonic quasicrystals.
  • To model the interaction of light with these structures under normal and oblique incidence.
  • To validate the predictive power of a Fano model by comparing it with experimental measurements.

Main Methods:

  • Determining propagation vectors and considering interactions between waveguide modes and particle plasmons in a 2D metallic photonic quasicrystal.
