The photocurrent in organic solar cells gives insight into fundamental device physics, as it allows determination of the field dependence of the photogeneration of charges. Its dependence on factors like absorber thickness and light intensity were observed and analysed. The magnitude of the photocurrent was obtained by IV-measurements under illumination by pulsed LEDs, which eliminate the overestimation of the device performance due to temperature effects made by sequential IV-measurements under constant illumination. We investigated bulk heterojunction solar cells with P3HT:PCBM blends as absorber layers, prepared by spin-coating. The built-in potential and the saturation photocurrent will be discussed in view of the internal field necessary to dissociate polaron-pairs.
