Immersion graded index optics: theory, design, and prototypes
Nina Vaidya, Olav Solgaard
Immersion optics enable creation of systems with improved optical concentration and coupling by taking advantage of the fact that the luminance of light is proportional to the squa…
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…
