description Light trapping or absorption is a key concept for design and fabricating solar cells. The propagation of electromagnetic waves through a multilayered solar cell containing organic materials has theoretically investigated. In particular, the reflected, transmitted, and absorbed powers are found and defined. The main parameters of the structure and the required equations for TE polarization are presented in detail. The boundary conditions of the electric and magnetic fields of the incident waves are imposed at each interface and Snell’s law is applied. Expressions for the overall reflection and transmission coefficients are provided by a recursive method. The reflected, transmitted, and absorbed powers are determined using these coefficients. In the numerical results, the mentioned powers are computed and illustrated as a function of the angle of incidence, the wavelength, and the thickness of the active layer when the extinction coefficient of the active layer changes.
