Fast and Sensitive Mid-IR Detectors for Gas Sensing
May 2, 2017 — Demands from industrial, petrochemical and new medical diagnostic applications are very wide-ranging — from air quality, emission monitoring and leak detectors, to breath analyzers and explosive material sensors. For many years, mid-IR components were considered expensive, immature and unreliable for wide application in this range. Swift growth of the mid-IR market1 is changing that. Uncooled detector chips with a monolithic immersion flip-chip that is mounted to sapphire chip
Highest Conversion Efficiency Reached
TEMPE, Ariz., Aug. 7, 2014 — First Solar Inc. announced it has set a record for cadmium-telluride (CdTe) photovoltaic research cell conversion efficiency. The record has been documented in the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory "Best Research Cell...
Better Materials Mean Better Solar Cells
Sep 1, 2013 — Innovation in materials research is revealing a future in which solar power is inexpensive and efficient, and sunlight-harvesting thin films cover everything from airplanes to buildings. Crystalline silicon, or c-Si, is the dominant photon-absorbing...
ITC upholds tariffs on solar panels from China
Jan 1, 2013 — The US will soon impose tariffs on solar panels imported from China, now that the US International Trade Commission has voted unanimously that the US industry was “materially injured” by cheap subsidized imports. The ITC voted 6-0...
Material Matters for Photovoltaics
Dec 1, 2012 — Researchers are working to find ever-better materials for solar cell production. It may be tricky times for much of the photovoltaics (PV) industry, but fervent research into solar cell materials has not ceased. From the innovative tailoring of...
Solar woes have not eclipsed market for lasers for solar tech
Dec 1, 2012 — Europe’s photovoltaic (PV) market is facing challenges including cuts in government subsidies and incentives, and those challenges affect laser makers who supply PV fabricators with equipment. But the outlook isn’t as cloudy as it could...
ITC Affirms Tariffs on Solar Panels from China
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9, 2012 — The US will soon impose tariffs on solar panels imported from China, now that the US International Trade Commission has voted unanimously that the US industry was “materially injured” by cheap subsidized imports flooding the US market.
Impact of PV Panel Penalties Pondered
WASHINGTON, March 21, 2012 — Smaller-than-expected duties on imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells from China, announced by the US Department of Commerce on Tuesday, had proponents on both sides of the issue putting a positive spin on the action. The tariffs range...
Research at the Nanoscale Boosts Green Photonics
Dec 1, 2011 — Improving the efficiency of thin-film solar cells is a key challenge, and some believe that nanophotonics could be the answer. Nanophotonic structures give us better control over light, enabling us to manipulate it in ways never seen before...
GE to Build Colorado Solar Plant, Add Jobs in NY
AURORA, Colo., Oct. 19, 2011 — General Electric Co. is expanding its thin-film solar panel manufacturing business in a big way, making it clear that the company sees renewable energy and clean technology as prime business opportunities. GE announced it will build a new...
Property Management: A Review of Optical Materials
Sep 1, 2011 — Optical materials are as old as the natural quartz and obsidian crystals early civilizations used to change the way people saw the world. Artificial materials came later, with mirrors and other optics produced following the growth of art glass in...
GE to Build US Solar Panel Factory
Jul 1, 2011 — GE announced that its full-size cadmium telluride thin-film solar panel has been independently certified as the most efficient ever reported for the technology. The company intends to manufacture the panels at a new 400-MW US factory as part of a...
GE to Build US Plant as Part of $600M Solar Investment
ARVADA, Colo., May 9, 2011 — GE announced that its full-size cadmium telluride thin-film solar panel has been independently certified as the most efficient ever publicly reported for the technology. The company said it intends to manufacture the panels at a new 400-MW US...
CZTSSe solar cell shows realistic potential for commercialization
Feb 1, 2011 — Scientists at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind., have developed a thin-film solar cell from Earth-abundant materials. They say that their CZTSSe solar cell, which is made from CZTS nanocrystals, could provide a cost-friendly alternative to...
Pushing the envelope: Trends in green research and technology
Jan 4, 2010 — Raising efficiency while lowering costs is the trend in solar as well as solid-state lighting. Researchers have been working toward this end in both areas for decades, and there ar...
The road to solar cell supremacy
Oct 1, 2009 — The silicon traditionally used to make solar panels is costly and inefficient at converting sunlight into electricity, experts say, yet it remains the material most commonly used to make solar panels. “This sounds rather ugly, but silicon is the...
Flip-Spin Flop Yields Tool
EUGENE, Ore., June 2, 2008 -- An attempt to flip the spin of electrons using ultrafast laser bursts may have failed, but in the process researchers found a way to manipulate and control electron spin -- knowledge that may prove useful in a variety of new materials and...
