Semiconductor Photoconvertors,
Abstract
An effort is made to generalize and systematize material connected with the operating principle and operational characteristics of photoelectric converters which are widely used at present as power-supply sources for space vehicles. The physical principles of the photovoltaic effect and the application of the theory for determination of volt-ampere characteristics and parameters of various types of photoconverters are outlined. Some new directions in photoelectric power engineering are discussed (thermophotoconverters). (Author)
