We use 2D PhCs with a hexagonal lattice of holes in dielectric as an example and apply our technique to reproduce results from analytical considerations. Further, the method is extended to fully vectorial problems in view of 3D PhCs and PhC slabs, its functionality is demonstrated using test cases and, finally, we provide an efficient implementation. The technique can thus readily be applied to output data of all band structure computation methods or even be embedded - gaining additional information about the mode symmetry.}, language = {en} } @article{JaegerKoeppelBarthetal.2016, author = {J{\"a}ger, Klaus and K{\"o}ppel, Grit and Barth, Carlo and Hammerschmidt, Martin and Herrmann, Sven and Burger, Sven and Schmidt, Frank and Becker, Christiane}, title = {Sinusoidal gratings for optimized light management in c-Si thin-film solar cells}, volume = {9898}, journal = {Proc.

Devices or processes are optimized with respect to a certain objective where the underlying physical processes are described by partial differential equations. In photovoltaics and photonics electromagnetic fields are investigated which are governed by Maxwell's equations. In this thesis a reduced basis method for the solution of the parameter dependent electromagnetic scattering problem with arbitrary parameters is developed. The method is developed with the specific challenges arising in optical simulations of thin-film silicon solar cells in mind. These are large in domain size and have a complex three-dimensional structure, making optimization tasks infeasible if high-accuracy of the electromagnetic field solution is required. The application of the empirical interpolation methods allows to expand an arbitrary parameter dependence affinely. Thus not only geometries, but also material tensors and source fields can be parameterized. Additionally, the required non-linear post-processing steps of the electromagnetic field to derive energy fluxes or volume absorption are addressed. The reduced basis method allows to reduce the computational costs by orders of magnitude compared to efficient finite element solvers. In addition, an efficient tailored domain decomposition algorithm is presented to model incoherent layers or illuminations in optical systems efficiently. This is of particular interest for solar cells in superstrate configuration where the absorber is illuminated through a glass substrate. The developed methods are employed in application examples taken from collaborations with experimentalists active in the joint lab "BerOSE" (Berlin Joint Lab for Optical Simulations for Energy Research). The optical model of a thin-film silicon multi-junction with incoherent light-trapping is characterized in great detail. The computational gains through hybrid, hp adaptive finite elements are studied and the incoherent domain decomposition algorithm is applied to model a more realistic light-trapping by the glass substrate. The numerical examples of a hexagonal nano-hole array and multi-junction silicon solar cell with a tunable intermediate reflector layer show that the reduced basis method is well suited as a forward solver for modeling and optimization tasks arising in photovoltaics and photonics. Reduced models for illumination and geometric parameters are built providing up to five orders of magnitude savings in computational costs. Resonance phenomena present in the nano-hole array example are detected and the model adapts itself automatically.}, language = {en} } @article{HammerschmidtDoepkingBurgeretal.2020, author = {Hammerschmidt, Martin and D{\"o}pking, Sandra and Burger, Sven and Matera, Sebastian}, title = {Field Heterogeneities and Their Impact on Photocatalysis: Combining Optical and Kinetic Monte Carlo Simulations on the Nanoscale}, volume = {124}, journal = {J.

Among these are the helicity of electromagnetic fields described with the optical chirality density and emitters sensitive to circular polarization employed in quantum communications. In the weak coupling regime of chiral emitters, we analyze the conversion of chirality which can be regarded as an analogue to absorption of energy describing the change of circular polarization of the incident field. This enables the tailoring of chiral near-fields close to metamaterials, e.g. composed of gold helices, and gives insights into extinction measurements such as circular dichroism. We show relation of the weak and strong coupling regime. The latter can be modelled with cross electric-magnetic polarizabilities or with effective chiral materials, i.e. bi-anisotropic media. Accordingly, we motivate the necessity for rigorous numerical simulations to accurately describe chiral light-matter interaction.}, language = {en} } @article{ChenManleyTockhornetal.2018, author = {Chen, Duote and Manley, Phillip and Tockhorn, Philipp and Eisenhauer, David and K{\"o}ppel, Grit and Hammerschmidt, Martin and Burger, Sven and Albrecht, Steve and Becker, Christiane and J{\"a}ger, Klaus}, title = {Nanophotonic Light Management for Perovskite-Silicon Tandem Solar Cells}, volume = {8}, journal = {J.

To construct geometrically accurate models of complex structured nano-photonic devices the finite element method (FEM) is ideally suited due to its flexibility in the geometrical modeling and superior convergence properties. Reduced order models such as the reduced basis method (RBM) allow to construct self-adaptive, error-controlled, very low dimensional approximations for input-output relationships which can be evaluated orders of magnitude faster than the full model. This is advantageous in applications requiring the solution of Maxwell's equations for multiple parameters or a single parameter but in real time. We present a reduced basis method for 3D Maxwell's equations based on the finite element method which allows variations of geometric as well as material and frequency parameters.

The performance of the approach is demonstrated on a first principles based, reduced model for the CO oxidation on the RuO_2(110) surface.
