How to Measure and Calculate Band Gap of a Photovoltaic Device

[QUOTE="DaveE, post: 6414539, member: 644223"] Interesting, the first time I ever heard of these things. It seems you can assume a black-body spectral distribution from the source. As the temperature is increased there will be an output current that should be the product of the two transfer functions; blackbody radiation times diode spectral response. With enough temperature data points I would think you could do something like a correlation calculation to model the diode response required to match the data. As the temperature is increased, you should see a current increase that is more rapid than the blackbody distribution could explain, this would be from the diode "turning on". However, you would need a good experimental setup and some modelling assumptions, and then you still might get a pretty sloppy result. How about just calling the manufacturer and asking? [/QUOTE]
