Monolithic perovskite/silicon-heterojunction tandem solar cells processed at low temperature

Michael Graetzel, Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Michael Saliba, Antonio Abate, Juan-Pablo Correa-Baena, Ludmilla Steier

Tandem solar cells combining silicon and perovskite absorbers have the potential to outperform state-of-the-art high efficiency silicon single junction devices. However, the practical fabrication of monolithic silicon/perovskite tandem solar cells is chall ...

Method and apparatus for head worn display with multiple exit pupils

Christophe Moser, Eric Tremblay

A method for displaying an image viewable by an eye, the image being projected from a portable head worn display, comprises steps of: emitting a plurality of light beams of wavelengths that differ amongst the light beams; directing the plurality of light b ...

Transition of optical regime in miniaturized optical systems: light interactions beyond the refraction limit

Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Myun Sik Kim

We investigate the transition of optical regimes of miniaturized optical systems using two canonical examples, where the refraction of light limits the system performance. A ball-lens and a solid immersion lens (SIL) are considered, whose refractive respon ...

CFSpro: ray tracing for design and optimization of complex fenestration systems using mixed dimensionality approach

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Andreas Schueler, André Gabriel Kostro, Mario Geiger

Advanced optical ray tracing software, CFSpro, was developed for the study and optimization of complex fenestration systems (CFSs). Using an algorithm mixing 2D and 3D approaches, accurate computation of large numbers of rays in extruded geometries can be ...

Multi-segment analysis of spinal kinematics during sit-to-stand in patients with chronic low back pain

Julien Favre

While alterations in spinal kinematics have been frequently reported in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP), a better characterization of the kinematics during functional activities is needed to improve our understanding and therapeutic solutions fo ...

Stationary solar concentrator delivering beyond the étendue law with homogeneous illumination

Marilyne Andersen, Boris Clément Karamata

We describe a concept for a novel stationary solar concentrator that relies on a new self-adaptive optical valve, non-imaging optics and the integrating sphere principle. Our analytical model reveals that this unique combination theoretically allows reachi ...

Design of periodic nano- and macro-scale textures for high-performance thin-film multi-junction solar cells

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Etienne Antoine Julien Moulin

Surface textures in thin-film silicon multi-junction solar cells play an important role in gaining the photocurrent of the devices. In this paper, a design of the textures is carried out for the case of amorphous silicon/micro-crystalline silicon (a-Si:H/m ...

Multilayer four-flux matrix model accounting for directional-diffuse light transfers

Roger Hersch, Mathieu Hébert

The four-flux model is a method to solve light radiative-transfer problems in planar, possibly multilayer structures. The light fluxes are modeled as two collimated and two diffuse beams propagating forward and backward perpendicularly to the layer stack. ...

Transflective holographic film for head worn display

Jürgen Brugger, Christophe Moser, Victor Javier Cadarso Busto, Eric Tremblay, Jonas Grossenbacher

A display panel assembly comprises a transflective holographic screen, i.e., a transparent screen that reflects light from a projection system, comprising at least a volume hologram, a first protective element and a second protective element, each arranged ...
