"angular coverage (omnidirectionality) spanning up to 81° for TE (traverse electric) and 82° for TM (traverse magnetic) polarization...  light absorption increased 66% for TE and 36% for TM polarization... hemispherical TE polarization increased 13% (for TM, 21%)... applications requiring flexible light capture, such as wearable electronics... organic solar cells, such as biomedical devices, as well as applications such as power-generation windows and greenhouses, internet-of-things"
