Abstrakt: In this work, we demonstrate an improved 3-D distributed circuit model to analyze the luminescent coupling effects in multijunction concentrator solar cells. We implemented the 3-D distributed circuit model and compared the simulation results with experimental data measured on GaAs/GaInNAsSb solar cells. The results from simulations implementing this 3-D model match well with the experimental data under different illumination conditions. In addition, with the 3-D model simulation results we visualized the space-variant luminescent coupling current under different spectral profiles. We demonstrate the effects of luminescent coupling on I-V characteristics and current density distributions in the cells. Our 3-D model will enable more precise modeling and more detailed performance analysis of concentrator solar cells. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
