This study reports on the development of AlGaAs/GaAs-based laser power photovoltaic (PV) converters fabricated by LPE. The monochromatic (λ = 809 nm) conversion efficiency up to 58% is measured for cells with p-n junction in Al{sub 0.07}Ga{sub 0.93}As and low (x = 0.25-0.3) Al concentration ‘window’. Modules, which have converters of low and high power laser radiation and the voltage of 4V, have been designed and fabricated. Comparison of output parameters measured at two different conditions (i.e., under flash lamp and laser beam) has been performed.
