The carrier recombination dynamics of InGaAsP material with a bandgap energy of 1 eV for quadruple-junction solar cells grown by solid-source molecular beam epitaxy have been investigated by the employment of time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) measurement. For the nominally undoped material, the PL decay time increases with increasing temperature, which indicates that radiative recombination dominates the recombination process. The radiative and the nonradiative recombination time constants were calculated on the basis of the temperature-dependent PL decay time and the integrated PL intensity. With the incorporation of Be (as the p-type dopant) into the material, the PL decay time decreases with increasing temperature, and a double-exponential PL decay curve is observed in the case of the material with a higher doping density. An InGaAsP-based single-junction photovoltaic device with a bandgap of 1 eV was fabricated, and an efficiency of 16.4% was obtained under the AM1.5G solar spectra.
