Radioisotope Thermophotovoltaic Generator Design Methods and Performance Estimates for Space Missions

This work provides the design methodology of a radioisotope thermophotovoltaic system (RTPV) using spectral control for space missions. The focus is on the feasibility of a practical system by using two-dimensional micropatterned photonic crystal emitters, selecting the proper thermophotovoltaic cel...
