Abstract
Recent attempts have been made to convert the broadband solar spectrum into filtered light, for the purpose of boosting the efficiency of a planar solar cell. By developing a thermodynamic model, the rigorous efficiency limits of the optically boosted solar cells are presented, which are achievable in principle with a piecewise function of the front emissivity or the energy-redistribution lifetime.
