It then follows that an upper optical sideband is generated, while the lower sideband is resonantly attenuated by the destruction of the layered medium .

In this paper, we introduce an efficient simulation framework, using the concepts of nonlinear transmission lines, to study fully-coupled charge and photon transport in planar devices. Within the developed framework, the drift-diffusion equations for charge transport are self-consistently coupled with the radiative transfer equation for photon transport and a separate lateral transport model, to obtain a realistic picture of the electro-optical device behaviour. The model allows the detailed study of large-area devices with full access to the wavelength and angle dependent features. It also accounts for photon recycling, providing deeper insight into the complex nature of optical energy transfer and losses in planar multi-layer structures. The efficiency of the framework is illustrated by applying it to study intracavity diode structures, which are intended for exploring high-power electroluminescent cooling in III-V light-emitting diodes.","PeriodicalId":369769,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Numerical Simulation of Optoelectronic Devices (NUSOD)","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132608710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Optical spacer layer thickness need to be optimized in order to achieve maximum absorption of the incoming light by the solar cell. In order to obtain the best optical spacer thickness, we perform multiple simulations with different number of population, number of generations, mutation probability, number of bits, and selection and crossover methods. Our preliminary experiments show that the introduction of evolutionary algorithm result in a satisfactorily accurate search method when compared to brute-force.
