Photovoltaic cells are semiconductor devices that can generate electrical energy based on energy of light that they absorb.They are also often called solar cells because their primary use is to generate electricity specifically from sunlight, but there are few applications where other light is used; for example, for power over fiber one usually uses laser light.
Quantum Efficiency
The quantum efficiency of a silicon solar cell. Quantum efficiency is usually not measured much below 350 nm as the power from the AM1.5 spectrum contained in such low wavelengths is low. While quantum efficiency ideally has the square shape shown above, the quantum efficiency for most solar cells is reduced due to recombination effects.
