Multi-Junction Photonic Power Converters: AI Enhanced Design Optimization

Le résumé fourni par la source

Photovoltaic devices containing InGaAs absorbers, lattice matched to InP, have shown excellent performance in many applications. We explore this material’ potential in photonic power converter (PPC) applications. We have developed a machine learning empowered computational framework to explore design space for optoelectronic devices. We apply dimensionality reduction and clustering machine learning algorithms to identify optimal ten-junction C-band PPC designs. We introduce a photo current figure of merit to find optimal designs with low computational cost. We compare modeled performance to experimental devices for 1, 2 and 10 junctions. We discuss the role of luminescent coupling in devices under test, and show increased effect when devices have a back reflector. We compare results obtained using dimensionality reduction with traditional Beer-Lambert calculations.
