Abstract
Photonic power converters (PPC) are photovoltaic devices that convert monochromatic light into electricity. Recent records with III-V PPC have achieved 68.9% but demand high carrier lifetimes. This report shows that the introduction of light trapping can yield substantially higher efficiencies, as all the incident light is weakly absorbed and thus amenable to absorption enhancement. For PPCs with low carrier lifetimes (i.e., 1–100 ns for moderately-doped GaAs), light trapping yields significant gains by enabling thinning of the material and reduction of recombination. In this report, multiple light trapping designs are compared, including nanostructures, rear diffuse reflectors, and angular selective filters. While some light-trapping designs achieve higher ideal PPC performance, other designs are seen to be more tolerant to dimensional variation in fabricated structures and incident angles.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
