Sustaining Efficiency at Elevated Power Densities with InGaAs Air Bridge Cells
Bosun Roy-Layinde, Tobias Burger, Dejiu Fan +4
Here we investigate the use of single-junction InGaAs airbridge cells (ABCs) at elevated power densities. Such conditions are relevant to many thermophotovoltaic (TPV) applications…

Extending the thermal near field through compensation in hyperbolic waveguides
Sean McSherry, Andrej Lenert
A promising method to leverage near-field power densities without the use of nanoscale vacuum gaps is through hyperbolic metamaterial (HMM) waveguides. When placed between a hot an…
