Enhancing Adjoint Optimization-based Photonics Inverse Design with Explainable Machine Learning
Christopher Yeung, David Ho, Benjamin Pham +2
A fundamental challenge in the design of photonic devices, and electromagnetic structures more generally, is the optimization of their overall architecture to achieve a desired res…
Accurately Quantifying Radiative Cooling Potentials: A Temperature-correction to the Transmittance-based approximation
Jyotirmoy Mandal, Xin Huang, Aaswath P. Raman
Theoretical calculations of the cooling potential of radiative cooling materials are crucial for determining their cooling capability under different meteorological conditions and…
Nanostructured Plasmonic Metal Surfaces as Optical Components for Infrared Imaging and Sensing
Jyotirmoy Mandal, John Brewer, Sagar Mandal +1
Thermal imaging and sensing technologies offer critical information about our thermally radiant world, and in recent years, have seen dramatic increases in usage for a range of app…
Multi-scale photonic emissivity engineering for relativistic lightsail thermal regulation
John Brewer, Matthew F. Campbell, Pawan Kumar +4
The Breakthrough Starshot Initiative aims to send a gram-scale probe to Proxima Centuri B using a laser-accelerated lightsail traveling at relativistic speeds. Thermal management i…
Relativistic light sails need to billow
Matthew F. Campbell, John Brewer, Deep Jariwala +2
We argue that light sails that are rapidly accelerated to relativistic velocities by lasers must be significantly curved in order to reduce their mechanical stresses and avoid tear…
