Class Information
Number: 257/436
Name: Active solid-state devices (e.g., transistors, solid-state diodes) > Responsive to non-electrical signal (e.g., chemical, stress, light, or magnetic field sensors) > Electromagnetic or particle radiation > Light > With means for increasing light absorption (e.g., redirection of unabsorbed light)
Description: Subject matter with means for increasing the amount of light absorbed by the device (e.g., antireflection coatings applied to the device, doping with energy converters, providing reflectors to redirect initially unabsorbed light onto the receptor, etc.).
