Microsystem technologies have the potential to significantly improve the performance, reduce the cost, and extend the capabilities of solar power systems. These benefits are possible due to a number of significant beneficial scaling effects within solar cells, modules, and systems that are manifested as the size of solar cells decrease to the sub-millimeter range. To exploit these benefits, we are using advanced fabrication techniques to create solar cells from a variety of compound semiconductors and silicon that have lateral dimensions of 250 - 1000 μm and are 1 - 20 μm thick. These fabrication techniques come out of relatively mature microsystem technologies such as integrated circuits (IC) and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) which provide added supply chain and scale-up benefits compared to even incumbent PV technologies. © The Electrochemical Society.

Vawter, Gregory A.; Tauke-Pedretti, Anna; Skogen, Erik J.

We present the first complete simulation of the dynamic range and noise of InGaAsP multi-ring channel-drop filters with internal SOAs. The results show gain saturation, and spontaneous emission noise limit the dynamic range. © 2010 Optical Society of America.
