The finite element method (FEM) yields rigorous, time-harmonic, high accuracy solutions of the full 3D vectorial Maxwell's equations [1] and furthermore allows for great flexibility and accuracy in the geometrical modeling of these often complex shaped 3D nano-structures. A major drawback of frequency domain methods is the limitation of single frequency evaluations. For example the accurate computation of the short circuit current density of an amorphous silicon / micro-crystalline multi-junction thin film solar cell may require the solution of Maxwell's equations for over a hundred different wavelengths if an equidistant sampling strategy is employed. Also in optical metrology, wavelength scans are frequently used to reconstruct unknown geometrical and material properties of optical systems numerically from measured scatterometric data. In our contribution we present several adaptive numerical integration and sampling routines and study their efficiency in the context of the determination of generation rate profiles of solar cells. We show that these strategies lead to a reduction in the computational effort without loss of accuracy. We discuss the employment of tangential information in a Hermite interpolation scheme to achieve similar accuracy on coarser grids. We explore the usability of these strategies for scatterometry and solar cell simulations.}, language = {en} } @article{LockauSontheimerPreideletal., author = {Lockau, Daniel and Sontheimer, Tobias and Preidel, Veit and Ruske, Florian and Hammerschmidt, Martin and Becker, Christiane and Schmidt, Frank and Rech, Bernd}, title = {Advanced microhole arrays for light trapping in thin film silicon solar cells}, series = {Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells}, volume = {125}, journal = {Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells}, doi = {10.1016/j.solmat.2013.11.024}, pages = {298 -- 304}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BarthJaegerBurgeretal., author = {Barth, Carlo and J{\"a}ger, Klaus and Burger, Sven and Hammerschmidt, Martin and Schmidt, Frank and Becker, Christiane}, title = {Design of Photonic Crystals with Near-Surface Field Enhancement}, series = {Light, Energy and the Environement 2015}, booktitle = {Light, Energy and the Environement 2015}, doi = {10.1364/PV.2015.JTu5A.9}, pages = {JTu5A.9}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HammerschmidtBarthBurgeretal., author = {Hammerschmidt, Martin and Barth, Carlo and Burger, Sven and Becker, Christiane and Schmidt, Frank}, title = {Determining 2D photonic crystal geometries from reflectance spectra with a reduced basis method}, series = {Proc.
