AbstractA series of highly near-infrared (NIR) transparent In2O3 thin films has been grown by ion-assisted deposition (IAD) at room temperature, and their optical and electrical properties characterized. The NIR transparency and the plasma edge can be engineered through control of the film deposition conditions. The as-deposited In2O3 thin films were employed as transparent electrodes for direct electro-optic (EO) characterization measurements via the Teng-Man technique. Using LiNbO3 as the standard, the relationship between the degree of electrode NIR transparency and Teng-Man EO measurement accuracy was evaluated. It is found that In2O3 electrodes can be tailored to be highly NIR transparent, thus providing more accurate Teng-Man EO coefficient quantification than ITO (tin-doped indium oxide). In addition, the EO coefficients of stilbazolium-based self-assembled superlattice (SAS) thin films were directly determined for the first time by the Teng-Man technique using an optimized In2O3 electrode. EO coefficients r33 of 42.2, 13.1, and 6.4 pm/V are obtained at 633, 1064, and 1310 nm, respectively.

In this paper, a randomly distributed plasmonic aluminum nanoparticle array is introduced on the top surface of conventional GaAs thin-film solar cells to improve sunlight harvesting. The performance of such photovoltaic structures is determined through monitoring the modification of its absorbance due to changing its structural parameters. A single Al nanoparticle array is integrated over the antireflective layer to boost the absorption spectra in both visible and near-infra-red regimes. Furthermore, the planar density of the plasmonic layer is presented as a crucial parameter in studying and investigating the performance of the solar cells. Then, we have introduced a double Al nanoparticle array as an imperfection from the regular uniform single array as it has different size particles and various spatial distributions. The comparison of performances was established using the enhancement percentage in the absorption. The findings illustrate that the structural parameters of the reported solar cell, especially the planar density of the plasmonic layer, have significant impacts on tuning solar energy harvesting. Additionally, increasing the plasmonic planar density enhances the absorption in the visible region. On the other hand, the absorption in the near-infrared regime becomes worse, and vice versa.
