This new method involves redirecting the incident sunlight into the cell via coupling to the whispering gallery modes of dielectric spheres, which lie atop the cell. Such a scheme leads to a predicted current enhancement of >12% for a-Si. Citing Literature Volume23, Issue10March 11, 2011Pages 1171-1171 RelatedInformation
