Low-bandgap solar cells can be used effectively and efficiently for thermophotovoltaic applications. A 0.75 eV bandgap InGaAs solar cell is an ideal device for the Er-YAG selective emitter with a emission peak around 1.5 {mu}m. Modeling results predict that the InGaAs cell efficiencies of nearly 30% are possible for the Er-YAG selective emitter source at 1500 K. {copyright} {ital 1995} {ital American} {ital Institute} {ital of} {ital Physics}.
