Abstract
A series of GaAsBi/GaAs multiple quantum well p-i-n diodes are characterized using IV, photocurrent and illuminated IV measurements. The results are compared to an InGaAs/GaAsP multiple quantum well control device of a design that has demonstrated excellent performance in triple junction photovoltaics. The extended absorption of the GaAsBi/GaAs devices, compared to that of the InGaAs/GaAsP device, suggests that GaAsBi/GaAs could present a viable alternative to InGaAs/GaAsP for quad junction photovoltaics.
