Photovoltaic devices containing InGaAs absorbers, lattice matched to InP, have shown excellent performance in many applications. We have developed a machine learning empowered computational framework to explore design space for optoelectronic devices. We present results on 1-junction to 10-junction devices. Luminescent coupling effects increase when devices have a back reflector.
