The efficiency of wavelength conversion of a cascaded Raman resonator decreases sharply when a non-resonant pump is used. Designing and fabricating new grating sets for the resonator for different pump sources isn’t a feasible option as it compromises the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of this approach. We identified that by seeding the cascaded Raman conversion suitably, a substantial improvement in efficiency can be achieved. This is demonstrated using a coupler-based broadband reflector to significantly improve the performance of CRR for a non-resonant pump source. Remarkable improvement in efficiency is obtained with $sim 70$% of the output power at 1480nm Stokes wavelength when the CRR is pumped by a 16W Ytterbium doped fiber laser at 1057nm.","PeriodicalId":6590,"journal":{"name":"2018 4th IEEE International Conference on Emerging Electronics (ICEE)","volume":"48 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77346311","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}

The Current on/off ratio and retention time also degrades with annealing temperature. The devices exhibited significantly low switching voltages (<1 V) and retention time upto 103 s. Annealing of PMMA at higher temperatures may result in softening of films resulting in lower switching voltages due to defects generation and easy charge migration. The conduction mechanism has been investigated by double log plot of I-V characteristics of device suggesting ohmic conduction at lower voltages in in HRS and in LRS. At higher voltages in HRS, space charge limited conduction dominates the conduction mechanism.","PeriodicalId":6590,"journal":{"name":"2018 4th IEEE International Conference on Emerging Electronics (ICEE)","volume":"99 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80994268","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}

In this paper, effect of inserting the additional polymer layer between the hole transporting layer (HTL) and blended polymer: fullerene photoactive layer in conventional organic solar cell (OSC) has been demonstrated. The poly 3-hexylthiophene (P3HT) buffer layer inserted between HTL and P3HT:PCBM offers pure donor phase at the HTL interface which ultimately reduces the effect of vertical phase separation in conventional OSC. The experimental results shows that proposed buffered layer architecture has shown the improved power conversion efficiency (PCE) of OSC by $sim$35% over the conventional OSC structure. This improvement are mainly due to increase in photon absorption and improved charge collection at the HTL interface. In addition to this, the annealing dependent study on proposed buffered layer OSCs and conventional OSCs has been carried out. It has been found that annealing the active layer for longer duration has substantially reduced the PCE of the both the OSC architecture. The reason for this drop in PCE is mainly because of increase in donor-acceptor phase segregation and vertical phase separation in P3HT:PCBM. Although, in comparison to the conventional OSCs the PCE of proposed buffered layer OSCs has not plunges drastically which indicates the reduced impact of vertical phase separation in case of novel buffer layer architecture.","PeriodicalId":6590,"journal":{"name":"2018 4th IEEE International Conference on Emerging Electronics (ICEE)","volume":"92 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76370287","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}
