Abstract
Information about several papers discussed at a conference on photovoltaics held from October 19-21, 2010 in Tokyo, Japan is presented. It describes the aim of the conference was to enable scientists, industrialists, and politicians to get an insight in the evolution of solar cells. The conference featured several researchers including Mayasa Yasui, Ryne Raffaelle, and Alan Heeger.
Information about several papers discussed at an annual spring meeting of the Japan Society of Applied Physics (JSAP) held on March 17-20, 2010 in Japan is presented. Sigma Koki Co. Ltd. developed a technique that improved the optical damage threshold of polished optical components. Yasuhiko Arakawa from the University of Tokyo observed lasing from a three-dimension photonic crystal. Toshihiko Kiwa of the Okayama University used femtosecond laser pulses to measure potential hydrogen (PH) values.
