Violating Kirchhoff's Law of Thermal Radiation in Semitransparent Structures

Yubin Park, Viktar S. Asadchy, Bo Zhao +3

Kirchhoff's law of thermal radiation imposes a constraint on photon-based energy harvesting processes since part of the incident energy flux is inevitably emitted back to the sourc…

High-Performance Photonic Transformers for DC Voltage Conversion

Bo Zhao, Sid Assawaworrarit, Parthiban Santhanam +2

Direct current (DC) converters play an essential role in electronic circuits. Conventional high-efficiency DC voltage converters, especially step-up type, rely on switch-mode opera…

Controlling the dopant profile for SRH suppression at low current densities in 1330nm GaInAsP light-emitting diodes

Parthiban Santhanam, Wei Li, Bo Zhao +5

The quantum efficiency of double hetero-junction light-emitting diodes (LEDs) can be significantly enhanced at low current density by tailoring the spatial profile of dopants to su…

Sub-Wavelength Passive Optical Isolators Using Photonic Structures Based on Weyl Semimetals

Viktar Asadchy, Cheng Guo, Bo Zhao +1

We design sub-wavelength high-performing non-reciprocal optical devices using recently discovered magnetic Weyl semimetals. These passive bulk topological materials exhibit anomalo…

Integrated near-field thermo-photovoltaics for on-demand heat recycling

Gaurang R. Bhatt, Bo Zhao, Samantha Roberts +7

The energy transferred via thermal radiation between two surfaces separated by nanometers distances (near-field) can be much larger than the blackbody limit. However, realizing a r…

Axion-Field-Enabled Nonreciprocal Thermal Radiation in Weyl Semimetals

Bo Zhao, Cheng Guo, Christina A. C. Garcia +2

Objects around us constantly emit and absorb thermal radiation. The emission and absorption processes are governed by two fundamental radiative properties: emissivity and absorptiv…
