Background: What is a diffractive beam splitter? Diffractive beam splitters, or multi-spot elements, are a family of diffractive optical elements (DOEs) that split an incoming laser beam into an array of beams with controlled separation angles. This splitting can be along a line (1-D splitters) or into a matrix (2-D splitter), including square, hexagonal or rectangular array … Continue reading
Tandem organic solar cells have drawn much attention in the field of solar energy. They consist of two monolithically connected cells enabling a broader absorption spectrum and efficient use of photon energy. In a Nature Communications article, entitled “High performance tandem organic solar cells via a strongly infrared-absorbing narrow bandgap acceptor,” researchers use the ultrafast … Continue reading
Researchers are utilizing greateyes’s high performance electroluminescence (EL) inspection systems to study degradation of solar cells and modules under thermal stress. They want to find breaks in photovoltaic modules. A new publication from Subinoy Roy and Prof. Rajesh Gupta of the Department of Energy Science & Engineering at IIT Bombay Indian Institute of Technology, entitled “Investigation … Continue reading
