Optimization of optical absorption in thin layers of amorphous silicon enhanced by silver nanospheres

Optics 2016-01-25 v1

Abstract

We study a highly controllable perfect plasmonic absorber -- a thin metamaterial layer which possess balanced electric and magnetic responses in some frequency range. We show that this regime is compatible with both metal-backed variant of the structure or its semitransparent variant. This regime can be implemented in a prospective thin-film photovoltaic cell with negligible parasitic losses.
