Broadband near unity absorption meta-structure for solar thermophotovoltaic systems and optical window applications

Abstract

Developing a meta-structure with near-unity absorbance in the visible and infrared spectra for solar energy harvesting, photodetection, thermal imaging, photo-trapping, and optical communications is a long-term research challenge. This research...

An elliptical nanoantenna array plasmonic metasurface for efficient solar energy harvesting

“…Metasurfaces offer a unique platform for investigating absorber/emitter topologies in STPV technologies because of their finely controlled optical characteristics. 47 Research shows that metasurfaces can generate various resonances, improving the energy conversion efficiency.…”
