| Research Abstract |
Plasmonic structures have been investigated in detail from the electromagnetic eigen modes. The characteristics in many plasmonic structures have been clarified. It was shown based on the high-precision, realistic numerical computations that visible-to-near-infrared wide-band, more-than-120-degrees wide-angle light absorption of high efficiency up to 80% takes place in thin photovoltaic systems incorporating plasmonic light collectors.
