Photonic Materials and Devices
Our recent advances in solid-state optoelectronic materials and devices will be reviewed. In the area of glass optics, fabrication of novel microstructured and multi-core fibers and their use in realizing single mode lasers will be summarized. In organic and plastic optics, photorefractive polymers for 3D display applications and nonlinear optical polymers for high speed modulators in RF photon...
متن کاملImproving solar cell efficiency using photonic band-gap materials
The potential of using photonic crystal structures for realizing highly efficient and reliable solar-cell devices is presented. We show that due their ability to modify the spectral and angular characteristics of thermal radiation, photonic crystals emerge as one of the leading candidates for frequencyand angular-selective radiating elements in thermophotovoltaic devices. We show that employing...
متن کاملElectrodynamic Sailing : Beating into the Solar
monkey with vision occluded obtain information about its own motor activities, as would be necessary, for example, when learning new movements? In this regard it is worth considering the possibility of the operation of central feedback mechanisms. Intracentral loops located appropriately could provide a means of monitoring central efferent activity before it has emerged into the periphery. Seve...
متن کاملSolar sailing: mission applications and engineering challenges.
Solar sailing is emerging as a promising form of advanced spacecraft propulsion, which can enable exciting new space-science mission concepts. By exploiting the momentum transported by solar photons, solar sails can perform high-energy orbit-transfer manoeuvres without the need for reaction mass. Missions such as planetary-sample return, multiple small-body rendezvous and fast missions to the o...
متن کاملMultiple NEA Rendezvous Mission: Solar Sailing Options
There may be differences between this version and the published version. You are advised to consult the publisher's version if you wish to cite from it. The scientific interest in near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) and the classification of some of those as potentially hazardous asteroid for the Earth stipulated the interest in NEA exploration. Close-up observations of these objects will increase dras...
