Near-field radiative heat transfer between dissimilar materials mediated by coupled surface phonon- and plasmon-polaritons
Lei Tang, John DeSutter, Mathieu Francoeur
Near-field radiative heat transfer (NFRHT) between dissimilar materials supporting surface polaritons in the infrared is of critical importance for applications such as photonic th…
A near-field radiative heat transfer device
John DeSutter, Lei Tang, Mathieu Francoeur
Recently, many works have experimentally demonstrated near-field radiative heat transfer (NFRHT) exceeding the far-field blackbody limit between planar surfaces. Due to the difficu…
External luminescence and photon recycling in near-field thermophotovoltaics
John DeSutter, Rodolphe Vaillon, Mathieu Francoeur
The importance of considering near-field effects on photon recycling and spontaneous emission in a thermophotovoltaic device is investigated. Fluctuational electrodynamics is used…
Near-field thermal electromagnetic transport: An overview
Sheila Edalatpour, John DeSutter, Mathieu Francoeur
A general near-field thermal electromagnetic transport formalism that is independent of the size, shape and number of heat sources is derived. The formalism is based on fluctuation…
Determination of thermal emission spectra maximizing thermophotovoltaic performance using a genetic algorithm
John DeSutter, Michael P. Bernardi, Mathieu Francoeur
Optimal radiator thermal emission spectra maximizing thermophotovoltaic (TPV) conversion efficiency and output power density are determined when temperature effects in the cell are…
