Enhanced Light Harvesting in Semitransparent Organic Solar Cells using an Optical Metal Cavity Configuration

An optical metal cavity configuration is used to trap near infrared light in a semitransparent organic solar cell. The efficiency for such cell, which has a higher than 20% transparency in the visible region, is equal to 90% of the efficiency of the corresponding opaque cell.
