Behaviors of photovoltaic cells illuminated by a laser of different operation modes
Abstract:
The ultimate capability of light-electricity conversion of a laser with different operation modes in a typical photovoltaic (PV) cell was investigated for the technologic concept of laser power transmission (LPT). The quasi-linear correlation between the maximum allowable laser power density and the pulsed laser power percentage (PPP) of the combined dual lasers was found experimentally on a tri-junction GaAs PV cell. At the same time, the patterns of thermomechanical damage in the PV cells were characterized. The physical mechanism on the difference in the light-electricity conversion ability for a multi-pulse (MP) laser and a continuous wave (CW) laser was revealed by the coupled model on thermal diffusion and the carrier transport.
