Abstract

A simple optical model is presented to describe the influence of a planar luminescent down-shifting layer (LDSL) on the external quantum efficiencies of photovoltaic solar cells. By employing various visible light-emitting LDSLs based on CdTe quantum dots or CdSe/CdS core–shell quantum dots and tetr...
