Photon Management in Solar Cells.

Ralf B. Wehrspohn studied physics at the University of Oldenburg, Germany, and received his Ph. D. degree from the Ecole Polytechnique in Paris in 1997. Until 1999 he worked on thin-film transistors for AMLCDs at Philips Research. From 1999 until 2003 he led the Porous Materials/Photonic Crystals gr...
