Here we show that a continuous highly conducting metal film can be made transparent for wide-angle and polarization-insensitive incidence of near-infrared light by depositing periodic metal patches on top of the metal film. Based on the optimized computations, the whole system could suppress the reflection and enhance the transmission. This design of transparent metal film can be useful in appl...

The remotely-sensed soil depth in the visible and near-infrared (near-IR) spectral region is investigated by using a numerical radiative transfer model of the coupled atmosphere and soil media. The sensible depth is determined by examining the downward hemispheric transmittance pro® le, hemispherical re ̄ ectance, and bidirectional re ̄ ectance with diVerent solar zenith angles at diVerent wavele...

Results are summarized for a scientific project devoted to the comparison of four atmospheric radiative transfer codes incorporated into different satellite data processing algorithms, namely, 6SV1.1 (second simulation of a satellite signal in the solar spectrum, vector, version 1.1), RT3 (radiative transfer), MODTRAN (moderate resolution atmospheric transmittance and radiance code), and SHARM ...

Semitransparent organic solar cells based on sequentially processed heterojunction (SHJ) structure show a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 12.5% and an average visible transmittance (AVT) 25.4%, outperforming the BHJ counterpart (PCE = 11.8%, AVT 22.9%).

Radlometnc measurements from satelhtes m the solar portmn of the electromagnetic spectrum can be converted to measurements of surface eratance Over rugged terrain, the satelhte image must be precisely registered to a terrain data set For small areas a first-order polynomial mterpolatmn scheme is generally satisfactory for the geometric rectlficatmn If there are saturated plxels, a nearest-neigh...

In this paper the effects of transmittance, dispersion angle and diffusion length on the quantum efficiency of solar cells (QESC) have been simulated and investigated. Optical path technic is used for simulation. The results show that base thickness, diffusion length, dispersion angle, number of optical confinement path and transmission angles have an extremely effects on the QESC. Simulation r...

1 Ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B, 280-320 nm) was surveyed in a mixed deciduous forest in Maryland, USA, using a Robertson-Berger meter. A smaller number of comparable measurements were made in closed-canopy forests in Chile, Panama, and Washington State, USA, and under two canopies recently disturbed by hurricanes, in Virginia, USA, and Mexico. Simultaneous measurements of photosynthetically ac...

ZnO is a promising material suitable for variety of novel electronic applications including sensors, transistors, and solar cells. Intrinsic ZnO film has inferiority in terms of electronic properties, which has prompted researches and investigations on doped ZnO films in order to improve its electronic properties. In this work, aluminum (Al) doped ZnO (AZO) with various concentrations and undop...
