We investigate organic p-i-n solar cells with an oligothiophene derivative as donor and Fullerene C₆₀ as acceptor materials. This donor-acceptor heterojunction leads to solar cells with an open circuit voltage as high as 1.0V and a reasonable power conversion efficiency of up to 3.4% [1].

Measuring current-voltage characteristics under monochromatic illumination of low intensity (non-standard reporting conditions), we find a wavelength dependent fill factor of these photovoltaic devices.

Furthermore, we determine the external quantum efficiency (EQE) from the photoresponse of these devices using a modulated monochromatic illumination on top of a white light bias as well as an external voltage bias. The EQE spectrum can be attributed to the spectrally different absorption of donor and acceptor. We discuss the dependence of the EQE spectrum from the applied external voltage with respect to the charge generation mechanism.
