Abstract
Photovoltaic converters of laser light with a wavelength of λ = 1550 nm are developed using liquidphase epitaxy (LPE), metal-organic chemical-vapor deposition (MOCVD), and diffusion from the gas phase into the n-GaSb substrate. Photocells with an area of S of 4, 12.2, and 100 mm2 are fabricated and tested. The characteristics of the samples produced by different methods are compared. The monochromatic efficiency is found to be 38.7% for the best converters (with S = 12.2 mm2) at a laser power of 1.4 W.
