The main innovative feature is the light source, which produces a broad range of intensities, up to 10 suns in a quasi-steady-state mode, thus making the use of a bias light redundant. This results in large, integral signals that can be recorded directly without resorting to lock-in amplification. Measurements of different solar cell structures with a conventional and the new measurement set-up resulted in good agreement.Keywords: Amplification; Integral equations; Light sources; Silicon solar cells; Large-signal technique; Quasi-steady-state techniques; Solar cell structures; Spectral response; Solar cells Quasi-steady-state techniques; Silicon solar cells; Spectral response200610.1002/pip.6612015-12-07
