This work investigates the recombination and energetics of photogenerated charge carriers and the resulting open circuit voltage in polymer based organic solar cells by charge extraction and temperature dependent measurements. The applicability and limitations of transient characterization techniques commonly used in the field of organic photovoltaics are elaborated. In addition, recombination at electrode interfaces and the impact of thin film optics on luminescence spectra are studied and described in detail leading to a more comprehensive understanding of device physics governing the characterization of organic solar cells.
