Photonic control over
light absorption and emission
in photovoltaics
Tom Veeken
We design and
fabricate dielectric
photonic structures
to gain control over absorption and emission in photovoltaic systems
3. Unlocking higher power efficiencies in luminescent solar concentrators
through anisotropic luminophore emission
4. Anisotropic luminophore emission
for enhanced light trapping in
luminescent solar concentrators
5. Passive radiative cooling of
silicon solar modules with
silica microcylinder arrays
6. Application and validity of
the effective medium approximation to
the optical properties of nano-textured silicon coated with a dielectric layer
7. Plasma focused ion beam tomography for accurate characterization of black silicon
validated by full-wave optical simulations
