Multiple Exciton Collection In a Sensitized Photovoltaic System 

This required an exact determination of the quantum yield per absorbed photon. Since the absorption of a single QD layer is small, Eq. (9.34) is not useful. The authors defined instead an absorbed photon-to-current efficiency (APCE) determined by 

In which LHE (light harvesting efficiency) is given by LHE(%) = (l 10- bsorbance)
