Definition
1. The spectral response is the ratio of the current generated by the solar cell to the power incident on the solar cell. With measuring the spectral response of a solar cell its quantum efficiency can be determined.
2. The fraction of available irradiance that is converted into current is called spectral response. Its Unit is A/W. The spectral response is a function of wavelength.
