This paper investigates the single-mode condition, mode confinement, and scattering loss for silicon-on-insulator (SOI), silicon-on-nitride (SON), and silicon-on-sapphire (SOS) waveguides at mid-IR wavelengths (2–5 $mumathrm{m})$. The mode confinement factor is calculated from the effective index method. The Payne-Lacey model is used in the calculation of scattering loss. Scattering loss is low $(< 0.01mathrm{dB}/mathrm{cm})$ for SOI waveguides in the 2-2.5 $mu mathrm{m}$, whereas for SOS it is in the 3–5 $mu mathrm{m}$. SON waveguide has moderate scattering loss through out $2-5mumathrm{m}$. In 2-2.5 wavelengths, SOS has better($>$ 70 %) mode confinement. In 3–5 $mumathrm{m}$ wavelengths, SOI has better confinement.","PeriodicalId":6758,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 8th International Conference on Photonics (ICP)","volume":"89 1","pages":"103-104"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89028704","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}

Silicon is a poor light-emitter due to its indirect bandgap nature. This paper aims to increase the intensity of the light emission from silicon by implantation of boron which will lead to the formation of dislocation loops between the lattice structures. Prior to that, the silicon samples were implanted with high concentration of carbon. Photoluminescence (PL) measurements were carried out to observe the emission in silicon at near infrared region. The temperatures were varied from 10K to 100K to study the effect of temperature towards the peak luminescence intensity. By observing the PL spectra, there are two main peaks that can be seen at ~1112 nm and 1170 nm. Both peaks show significantly higher intensities in the samples incorporated with boron.","PeriodicalId":6758,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 8th International Conference on Photonics (ICP)","volume":"106 2","pages":"1-2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91497499","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}

To date, the conversion efficiency of the GaSb TPV cell remains low due to the presence of electrical and spectral losses. In this study, a GaSb TPV cell model is developed using the Silvaco TCAD simulation software. Validation on the simulation model was performed under atmospheric (AM) 1.5 standard test condition (STC) and TPV illumination conditions. Through the validation processes, a set of GaSb physical parameters that are reliable to be used for GaSb TPV cell simulation was established. Under AM1.5 testing condition, the electrical characteristic and performance of GaSb TPV of the reference cell were obtained from an experimental characterization on commercialized devices. A deviation in fill factor and cell efficiency was found between the cell sample and simulation model under AM1.5 illumination. This is due to the presence of resistance losses in the device. Nevertheless, a percentage error of below 3% was achieved under 1200 ° C TPV spectrum. Besides, it was found that a spectral filter that cuts at 2 μm increases the cell efficiency from 11.51% to 19.10% with a power output of 1.33 W/cm2. The finding in this study demonstrates the importance of minimizing the electrical losses and the determination of an optimal filtered spectrum wavelength for developing highperformance GaSb TPV cell.","PeriodicalId":6758,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 8th International Conference on Photonics (ICP)","volume":"7 1","pages":"44-47"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90205195","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}
