A modeling approach is developed to correct outcoupled electroluminescence spectra in thin-film organic and perovskite solar cells. The approach takes into account self-absorption, cavity effects, and nonhomogeneous emission profile to yield intrinsic spectrum. The impact of these effects is studied for various device parameters to uncover trends and provide guidelines for a large set of devices.

Optical Modeling: The simulation procedure used here was based on Dyson et al. where the outcoupled spectrum is calculated using Setfos for a 1 nm emitter layer located in the active layer
