    摘要: An anti-reflection coating is described. The coating is disposed on a surface of a substrate. The anti-reflection coating includes an array of substantially transparent nanostructures having a primary axis substantially perpendicular to the surface of the substrate. The array of substantially transparent nanostructures is characterized by a graded refractive index. In some embodiments, each of the nanostructures has a substantially uniform cross-sectional area along the primary axis. Related methods and devices are also described.

    摘要: A photovoltaic device including a composite down-converting layer disposed on the device, is presented. The composite down-converting layer includes down-converting material particles dispersed in a matrix. The size of the down-converting material particles is a function of a difference in respective refractive indices (Δn) of the down-converting material and the matrix such that: (i) for Δn less than about 0.05, the size of down-converting material particles is in a range from about 0.5 micron to about 10 microns, and (ii) for Δn at least about 0.05, the size of down-converting material particles is in a range from about 1 nanometer to about 500. A photovoltaic module having a plurality of such photovoltaic devices is also presented.
