Optical to electrical power converting devices are achieved with breakthrough performance using a Vertical Epitaxial HeteroStructure Architecture (VEHSA design). The III-V semiconductor devices allow achieving a near-optimum responsivity, an improved photovoltage output compared to p/n junctions with standard thicknesses. The ultrahigh conversion efficiencies were obtained by monolithically...
