Annotation
We report an optical fiber based spectral response measurement system for multi-junction solar cells. We have also fabricated single junction GaAs cells on GaAS and Ge substrates and measured lighted I-V characteristics. Preliminary quantum efficiency measurements on these devices are also presented.
