Presentation Summary

  • Organic materials for non-tracking optical concentration to III-V solar cells
  • Increasing conversion efficiency and optical flux gain

Speaker Biography (Jon Mapel)

Jon Mapel received a BS in Electrical Engineering from the University of Southern California and a PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2008 under the supervision of Marc Baldo in the Soft Semiconductor Group of the Research Laboratory of Electronics. His thesis was on novel approaches to separate optical and electrical functions by utilizing long range energy transfer mediated by surface plasmon polaritons in organic solar cells and waveguided photons in organic solar concentrators.
