Modelling of photon recycling in optoelectronic devices using a transfer matrix method

In this work we present a generalized transfer matrix method to study the effect of the photon recycling on the performance of solar cells. Photon recycling increases the charge carrier concentration in solar cells, resulting in an increase of the open circuit voltage (Voc). The model is based on the transfer matrix method (TMM), taking into account internal sources representing the emission from radiative recombination.
