Electro-optic modulation of coherent and incoherent mid-IR radiation in two-dimensional arrays
Jared Sisler, Phillippe Pearson, Michael Kelzenberg +2
Light in the mid-infrared (mid-IR) spans wavelengths from 3-8 m and is important to many applications such as gas sensing and thermal imaging. Due to materials challenges, there…
Experimental demonstration of corrugated nanolaminate films as reflective light sails
Matthew F. Campbell, Pawan Kumar, Jason Lynch +11
Achieving laser-driven, reflective, relativistic light sails would represent a tremendous breakthrough for humankind, allowing us to advance our understanding of the solar system a…
Optically Actuated Transitions in Multimodal, Bistable Micromechanical Oscillators
Lior Michaeli, Ramon Gao, Michael D. Kelzenberg +3
We experimentally demonstrate a new class of optomechanical nonlinearities in weakly damped micromechanical resonators, arising from the interplay between the Duffing nonlinearity,…
Direct Radiation Pressure Measurements for Lightsail Membranes
Lior Michaeli, Ramon Gao, Michael D. Kelzenberg +4
Ultrathin lightsails propelled by laser radiation pressure to relativistic speeds are currently the most promising route for flyby-based exoplanet exploration. However, there has b…
Dynamically Stable Radiation Pressure Propulsion of Flexible Lightsails for Interstellar Exploration
Ramon Gao, Michael D. Kelzenberg, Harry A. Atwater
Lightsail spacecraft, propelled to relativistic velocities via photon pressure using high power density laser radiation, offer a potentially new route to space exploration within a…
A Lightweight Space-based Solar Power Generation and Transmission Satellite
Behrooz Abiri, Manan Arya, Florian Bohn +17
We propose a novel design for a lightweight, high-performance space-based solar power array combined with power beaming capability for operation in geosynchronous orbit and transmi…
A new metal transfer process for van der Waals contacts to vertical Schottky-junction transition metal dichalcogenide photovoltaics
Cora M. Went, Joeson Wong, Phillip R. Jahelka +3
Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides are promising candidates for ultrathin optoelectronic devices due to their high absorption coefficients and intrinsically passivate…
Lightweight Carbon Fiber Mirrors for Solar Concentrator Applications
Nina Vaidya, Michael D. Kelzenberg, Pilar Espinet-González +7
Lightweight parabolic mirrors for solar concentrators have been fabricated using carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) and a nanometer scale optical surface smoothing technique. T…
Extremely broadband ultralight thermally emissive metasurfaces
Ali Naqavi, Samuel P. Loke, Michael D. Kelzenberg +9
We report the design, fabrication and characterization of ultralight highly emissive metaphotonic structures with record-low mass/area that emit thermal radiation efficiently over…
