Abstract :
Photovoltaic cell characteristics for high intensity laser light including Si, GaAs, InGaAs photovoltaic cells and an uni-traveling-carrier photodiode are investigated. We estimate the values of the series resistance of photovoltaic cells and clarify that the extremely small series resistance is important to obtain higher conversion efficiency especially for high intensity laser light.
