“…This behavior is indicative of grating-coupled surface plasmon-polariton modes that have been extensively studied previously, [26,27,37]. In fact, experimental infrared enhancement of solar cells has recently been reported [21]. These surface modes propagate long distances and therefore can contribute significantly to total absorption, even though the intrinsic absorption coefficient of a-Si at those wavelengths is relatively low.…”

“…Our own previous studies of a-Si-based solar cells have concentrated on improving the efficiency in the red and the near-infrared portions of the spectrum, where the absorption by silicon is weak, though not negligible [19][20][21]. Earlier work on microcrystalline-hydrogenated solar cells that extend useful absorption beyond 1 μm [22][23][24] supports the notion that particular attention should be paid to absorption enhancement at longer wavelengths, up to the silicon bandgap [25].…”
