High-performance metallo-dielectric photonic crystals: Design, fabrication, and testing of a practical emitter for portable thermophotovoltaic generators
Hydrocarbon thermophotovoltaic (TPV) systems, a concept first proposed in the 1950s, are emerging as a viable power source for small, portable generators for a spectrum of applications such as UAVs and robotic platforms. In a TPV system, an emitter is heated to above 1000 K, producing thermal radiat...
