ABSTRACT We analyze photoluminescence (PL) and electroluminescence (EL) using a hyperspectral imager that records spectrally resolved luminescence images of solar cell absorbers. The system is calibrated to yield the luminescence flux in absolute values. This system enables to quantitatively image physical parameters such as the photovoltage with an uncertainty of less than 30mV. The wide field illumination, low power excitation and fast acquisition brings new insights compared to classical setups such as confocal microscope. Several types of absorbers have been analyzed. For instance, we can investigate spatial fluctuations of the Quasi Fermi Levels splitting in CIGS polycristalline absorbers and link those fluctuations to transport properties. The method is general to the point that third generation PV cells absorbers can also be evaluated. We illustrate the great potential of our setup by imaging carrier temperature in Hot Carriers Solar cells absorbers and quasi Fermi levels splitting in Intermediate Band Solar cells.

INTRODUCTION Photoluminescence (PL) and electroluminescence (EL) spectra allow the determination of important optoelectronic parameters of solar cells, such as the open circuit voltage from PL [1] or the external quantum efficiency (EQE) from EL [2]. To get an accurate measurement of those parameters and thus a correct understanding, experimental conditions have to be properly set. We propose here to use a hyperspectral imager that can record spectrally resolved images. The absolute calibration of
