Enhancing light trapping in thin film solar cells employing plasmonic nanowires with triangular cross sections

to enhance light absorption in thin-film crystalline silicon solar cells, we propose a novel structure containing triangular nanogratings both on top and at the bottom of absorbing layer. This combination leads to broadband absorption enhancement due to the excitation of both plasmonic and photonic modes.
