Photovoltaic device with frequency conversion region

摘要

The present invention provides an organic fibrous photovoltaic device with a frequency conversion region comprising a waveguide being arranged normal to the axis of the fiber.

主权项

1. A method of converting photonic energy into electrical energy comprising:
receiving electromagnetic radiation along the optical axis of an optical fiber comprising a first region and a second region separated by a frequency conversion region comprising a substrate; transmitting at least a portion of the electromagnetic radiation into a photosensitive organic layer through a radiation transmissive electrode surrounding the first region of the optical fiber; generating excitons in the photosensitive organic layer; and separating the excitons into electrons and holes at one or more heterojunctions in the photosensitive organic layer.
