Design and optimization of one-dimensional photonic crystals for thermophotovoltaic applications.
We explore the optical characteristics and fundamental limitations of one-dimensional (1D) photonic crystal (PhC) structures as means for improving the efficiency and power density of thermophotovoltaic (TPV) and microthermophotovoltaic (MTPV) devices. We analyze the optical performance of 1D PhCs with respect to photovoltaic diode efficiency and power density. Furthermore, we present an optimi...
متن کاملOne –Dimensional Si/SiO2 Photonic Crystals Filter for Thermophotovoltaic Applications
In this paper, a one dimensional Si/SiO2 photonic crystals (1D-PhCs) is optimized for potential application as thermophotovoltaic (TPV) optical filter. The performance of the proposed structure, 1D eightlayer Si/SiO2 of thermophotovoltaic system, is studied. The effect of the thickness of layers, incidence angle and number of periods on the spectral reflectance has been investigated by rigorous...
متن کاملPhase Properties of One-Dimensional Quaternary Photonic Crystals
In this paper, properties of reflection phase in one-dimensional quaternary photonic crystals combining dispersive meta-materials and positive index materials are investigated by transfer matrix method. Two omnidirectional band gaps are located in the band structure of considered structure. However, we limit our studies to the frequency range of the second wide band gap. We observe that the val...
متن کاملPhotonic Crystals for Enhancing Thermophotovoltaic Energy Conversion
Thermophotovoltaics (TPV) converts the radiant energy of a thermal source into electrical energy using photovoltaic cells. TPV has a number of attractive features, including: fuel versatility (nuclear, fossil, solar, etc.), quiet operation, low maintenance, low emissions, light weight, high power density, modularity, and possibility for cogeneration of heat and electricity. Some of these featur...
متن کاملDesign of one-dimensional photonic crystals using combination of band diagram and photonic gap map approaches
The design of one-dimensional photonic crystals and the analysis of their optical properties have been performed using band diagram and forbidden gap map methods. It has been shown that the latter method is more useful for practical applications since i it can be applied for any number of periods and ii it is more suitable for the selection of a filling fraction in a wide range of values using ...
