The need for optically multi-functional micro- and nano-structures is growing in various fields. Designing such structures is impeded by the lack of computationally low-cost algorithms. In this study, we present a hybrid design scheme, which relies on a deep learning model and the local search optimization algorithm, to optimize a diffractive optical element that performs spectral splitting and spatial concentration of broadband light for solar cells. Using generated data set during optimization of a diffractive optical element, which is a one-time effort, we design topography of diffractive optical elements by using a deep learning-based inverse design scheme. We show that further iterative optimization of the reconstructed diffractive optical elements increases amount of spatially concentrated and spectrally split light. Our joint design approach both speeds up optimization of diffractive optical elements as well as providing better performance at least 57% excess light concentration with spectral splitting. The algorithm that we develop here will enable advanced and efficient design of multifunctional phase plates in various fields besides the application that we target in solar energy. The algorithm that we develop is openly available to contribute to other applications that rely on phase plates.

Plasmonic-photonic arrays with aperiodic spiral order for ultra-thin film solar cells
Trevino, Jacob; Forestiere, Carlo; Dİ MARTİNO, Giuliana; Yerci, Selçuk; Priolo, Francesco; Dal Negro, Luca (2012-05-07)
We report on the design, fabrication and measurement of ultrathin film Silicon On Insulator (SOI) Schottky photo-detector cells with nanostructured plasmonic arrays, demonstrating broadband enhanced photocurrent generation using aperiodic golden angle spiral geometry. Both golden angle spiral and periodic arrays of various center-to-center particle spacing were investigated to optimize the photocurrent enhancement. The primary photocurrent enhancement region is designed for the spectral range 600nm-950nm, w...
Nanoscale chemical mapping using three-dimensional adiabatic compression of surface plasmon polaritons
DE ANGELIS, Francesco; DAS, Gobind; CANDELORO, Patrizio; PATRINI, Maddalena; GALLI, Matteo; Bek, Alpan; LAZZARINO, Marco; MAKSYMOV, Ivan; LIBERALE, Carlo; ANDREANI, Lucio Claudio; DI FABRIZIO, Enzo (2010-01-01)
The fields of plasmonics, Raman spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy have recently undergone considerable development, but independently of one another. By combining these techniques, a range of complementary information could be simultaneously obtained at a single molecule level. Here, we report the design, fabrication and application of a photonic-plasmonic device that is fully compatible with atomic force microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Our approach relies on the generation and localization of sur...
Planar perovskite solar cells with metal oxide transport layers by co-evaporation and hybrid vapor-solution sequential method
Soltanpoor, Wiri; Yerci, Selçuk; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2020)
The recent success in achieving beyond 25% efficiency with perovskite solar cells (PSC) has called for further upgrading the fabrication techniques to meet the scalability requirements of the photovoltaic (PV) industry. Co-evaporation and a hybrid vapor-solution technique have been shown to produce uniform and efficient planar PSCs. Therefore, in this study, co-evaporation method was optimized studying the partial pressure of the organic precursor. Later electron transport layers in n-i-p and p-i-n structur...
Performance evaluation of linear tube solar receiver as stratified flow vapor generator/separator for absorption machines using nh3/lino3
Çelik, Sıtkı Berat; Tarı, İlker; Neumann, Antonio Lecuona; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2020-9)
A parabolic trough solar collector acting as a desorber (vapor separator) has been recently suggested (Lecuona-Neumann, Rosner, & Ventas-Garzón, 2016) and (Famiglietti et al. 2018). The desorber significantly reduced the complexity and cost of a solar driven absorption heat pump. However, it introduced an innovative flow layout, which is a two-phase, boiling, gravity driven and stratified counter flow. The comprehension of its capabilities is necessary in order to unveil its potential. In the current wor...
Hydrothermal method for doping of zinc oxide nanowires and fabrication of ultraviolet photodetectors
Afal, Ayşegül; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Turan, Raşit; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2012)
Nanotechnology comprises of the understanding and control of materials and processes at the nanoscale. Among various nanostructured materials, semiconducting nanowires attract much interest for their novel physical properties and potential device applications. The unique properties of these nanowires are based on their high surface to volume ratio and quantum confinement effect. Zinc oxide, having a direct, wide bandgap and large exciton binding energy, is highly appealing for optoelectronic devices. Due to...
