Lectures: 

The lectures are divided in two main parts. The first one focuses on the integration of photonic structures to enhance the performance of optoelectronic devices. Special emphasis is placed on light trapping strategies for solar cells, i.e. in pushing the solar cell efficiency by increasing the optical path length within the absorbing layer. The lectures will start with an introduction to the relevant concepts followed by a review of different research results. After that, a practical numerical exercises will be performed. The main topics that will be discussed are:

- Review of the Shockley-Queisser limit for a Lambertian surface
- Light trapping assisted by periodic structures
- Resonances in open systems: “Quasi-normal modes”
- Photon enhanced thermionic emitters

The second part is devoted to the study of the Aharonov-Bohm effect in semiconductor nanostructures. The case study is for self-assembled quantum dots exhibiting a type-II band alignment. It is shown how to change the topology of the hole wave function through an external gate voltage in a p-i-ndiode.
