It has been shown that efficiency of a photovoltaic cell can be enhanced in the presence of intermediate levels in a semiconductor band gap. However the practical realization of this concept is difficult due to low absorption by the intermediate levels. We show that it is possible to significantly increase photon absorption and generate more power utilizing noise induced quantum coherence between intermediate electronic states which is created due to interference among the absorption pathways. We discuss possible experimental demonstration of this effect using confined electronic-hole states in self assembled quantum dots.

Enhancing photocell power by noise-induced coherence

We show that coherence induced by Fano interference can enhance the power produced by photovoltaic devices, e.g. photodetectors and solar cells, as compared to the same system with no coherence. No additional external energy source is necessary to create such induced coherence. In the present model, coherence generated by photocurrent increases (for optically thin cells) the flow of electrons through the load, which reduces radiative recombination and enhances cell power. We discuss two schemes in which coherence is generated between upper or lower energy levels. We also study the influence of decoherence, τa, on cell power and show that one can design a device with Fano enhancement even at relatively large decoherence rates. Finally we investigate the effect of ambient temperature Ta on the cell power in a scheme with no interference and show that for certain parameters power can be increased by increasing Ta.
