Abstract(in English) GaInN-based photovoltaic (PV) devices are highly promising for application to optical wireless power transmission (OWPT) systems as well as solar cells. In this study, we attempted to improve the diode I-V characteristics focusing on improving the quality of epitaxial films employing GaInN-MQWs as a PV device for optical wireless power transmission systems. As a result of the MOCVD study, the epilayer qualities in the PV cell improved significantly through the adoption of an optimized growth temperature for the GaInN MQWs and of the two-step growth for the top p-GaN layers. Furthermore, the improved epilayer qualities resulted in the decrease in carrier recombination currents and series resistance for the forward diode characteristics without a light illumination. Accordingly, sample with the improved qualities exhibited a high open-circuit voltage and a high fill factor in the PV characteristics. Eventually, the highest power conversion efficiency (PCE) was measured to be 42.7% at a monochromatic light illumination with 389 nm in wavelength and 5 mW cm−2 in optical power density. The dependency of the PV performance on the optical power densities at monochromatic lights predicted that a higher PCE value may be achievable at a higher optical-power-density illumination.
