  • Abstract
    A plasmonic concentrator consisting of a quasi-periodic array of shallow sub-wavelength holes is considered for use in ultra-thin film organic solar cells. The level of absorption enhancement in the active layer will be studied as functions of array symmetry and planar hole density.
