Abstract :
Co-optimization of plasmonics and solar cell structures in the design of plasmonic solar cell is demonstrated by combining three dimensional finite difference time domain method ( FDTD ) for absorbed photon-density calculations with three dimensional electric device simulation methods based on drift/diffusion charge carrier transport models..
