Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="aenm201400614-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>An optical metal cavity configuration</bold> <bold>is used to trap near infrared light</bold> in a semitransparent organic solar cell. The efficiency for such cell, which has a higher than 20% transparency in the visible region, is equal to 90% of the efficiency of the corresponding opaque cell. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh3jjkq4ms" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
