English Abstract

In this thesis, we have implemented a case of polarization of the electromagnetic field (hybrid modes) which includes both transverse electric field and transverse magnetic field.

The purpose of applying this case is to find a transfer matrix, which depends on analytical and mathematical bases.

Solar cells provide a renewable and clean energy by converting the sunlight to electricity and it is considered as a dependable energy source.

Also, a new waveguide solar cell structure has been designed and investigated as a solar cell model.

The designed waveguide structure contains four layers, the first layer is Air, the second is Aluminium oxynitride (????), the third is Iron- indium Gallium arsenide phosphide (Fe-InGaAsP), and the last layer is Silicon (??) is a Substrate, has been used in order to improve the absorption of light.

In this thesis, theoretical and analytical investigations of electromagnetic wave propagation through the proposed structure have been achieved.

Transverse electric polarized plane waves are normally and obliquely incident upon the proposed structure.

The electromagnetic transmitted, reflected and by absorbed versus of the incident frequency has been computed numerically using formulated reflection and transmission coefficients.

In computations, the effect of changing the values of absorbing factor, thicknesses of slabs, and angles of incidence has been studied.

We used MAPLE software to run the simulation of the proposed waveguide structure.

This work has shown excellent results for high transmission of the incident waves for certain frequency bands.

Hence, the studied structure would be promising to be utilized in the field of solar cells.
