Fourier light scattering model for treating textures deeper than the wavelength

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Matthias Wolfgang Bräuninger

We apply a Fourier-scattering model to describe light scattering in solar cells with textured surfaces. For the size and inclination angle of typical micro-textures, scattering may occur into large angles. This makes the model prone to paraxial errors. We ...
