A spectrally selective reflector (SSR) can be fabricated by depositing a transparent conducting oxide on a reflective
substrate. SSRs can be incorporated in concentrating solar cells in order to minimize the heating. We deposited
TiO2:Nb thin films on glass by DC magnetron sputtering, extracted optical constants, and used those to model an
optimized SSR. Corresponding films were then successfully produced. The best wavelength-integrated reflectance
values were 79 % and 31 % in the ranges 300 < λ < 1100 nm and 1100 < λ < 2500 nm, respectively. These data are
better than those previously achieved using SnO2:F.
