MULTIJUNCTION LASER LIGHT DETECTOR WITH MULTIPLE VOLTAGE DEVICE IMPLEMENTATION

摘要

Laser power conversion with multiple stacked junctions or subcells are disclosed to produce increased output. Both vertical and horizontal integration are disclosed for flexible, efficient, and cost-effective laser power conversion. One embodiment of a laser power converter includes at least a first or top subcell that receives incident laser light, a second subcell below the first subcell that subsequently receives the laser light, and a tunnel junction between the first and second subcells.
