Abstract:
A solar cell is provided wherein a circular polarizer is positioned proximate an absorptive semiconductor layer which itself is separated from an electrode, such as a loop of conductive metal, by an electrically insulative layer. Upon exposure to non-polarized light, a portion of the incident light is polarized and transmitted to the semiconductor layer. Under the influence of this polarized light, photo excited electrons in the semiconductor layer are induced to move in a circular motion, thereby generating magnetic fields. These magnetic fields drive the flow of current within the electrode.

Claim (Index 17):
A method of generating electricity including the steps of:\n providing a solar cell incorporating a circular polarizer, exposing said solar cell to non-polarized light, transmitting a portion of said incident light through said circular polarizer, whereby the portion of incident light transmitted is circularly polarized; exposing an light absorptive semiconductor material to said transmitted circularly polarized light, whereby a magnetic field is generated; and, providing an electrode proximate to said absorptive semiconductor material and situated within said generated magnetic field, whereby a current is induced in said electrode.
