    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for converting electromagnetic radiation, such as solar energy, into electric energy with increased efficiency when compared to conventional solar cells. A photovoltaic (PV) unit, according to embodiments of the invention, may have a very thin absorber layer produced by epitaxial lift-off (ELO), all electrical contacts positioned on the back side of the PV device to avoid shadowing, and/or front side and back side light trapping employing a diffuser and a reflector to increase absorption of the photons impinging on the front side of the PV unit. Several PV units may be combined into PV banks, and an array of PV banks may be connected to form a PV module with thin strips of metal or conductive polymer applied at low temperature. Such innovations may allow for greater efficiency and flexibility in PV devices when compared to conventional solar cells.

    Abstract: A thermal bridge connecting first and second processing zones and a method for transferring a work piece from a first to a second processing zone by way of the thermal bridge are disclosed. A work piece, transportable from the first to the second processing zone on or above the thermal bridge, is maintained at a temperature between the temperatures of the processing zones. The thermal bridge member features a thermally conductive transport member for the work piece supported over an infrared transmissive member that is insulative to heat conduction and convection. The bridge insulative member extends between the first and second processing zones or between reactors. An infrared radiation beam source emits infrared radiation which passes through the bridge insulative member to the transport member, heating the member. In an alternate embodiment, the transport member may be heated directly. A liner member may be mounted above the bridge member to retain heat.
