High efficiency

daily coverage of the optics & photonics industry and the markets that it serves

Spectrolab's metamorphic structures are based on three individual cells grown on top of one another using MOCVD and connected in series. Thick layers of p-doped GaInP, GaInAs, and the germanium substrate on which the chip structure is based each absorb individual wavelength bands of the solar radiation to yield the high-efficiency conversion.
