Hybrid optical-thermal devices and materials for light manipulation and radiative cooling
Svetlana V. Boriskina, Jonathan K. Tong, Wei-Chun Hsu +5
We report on optical design and applications of hybrid meso-scale devices and materials that combine optical and thermal management functionalities owing to their tailored resonant…
Limiting efficiencies of solar energy conversion and photo-detection via internal emission of hot electrons and hot holes in gold
Svetlana V. Boriskina, Jiawei Zhou, Wei-Chun Hsu +2
We evaluate the limiting efficiency of full and partial solar spectrum harvesting via the process of internal photoemission in Au-semiconductor Schottky junctions. Our results base…
Infrared-Transparent Visible-Opaque Fabrics for Wearable Personal Thermal Management
Jonathan K. Tong, Xiaopeng Huang, Svetlana V. Boriskina +3
Personal cooling technologies locally control the temperature of an individual rather than a large space, thus providing personal thermal comfort while supplementing cooling loads…
Local field topology behind light localization and metamaterial topological transitions
Jonathan Tong, Alvin Mercedes, Gang Chen +1
We revisit the mechanisms governing the sub-wavelength spatial localization of light in surface plasmon polariton (SPP) modes by investigating both local and global features in opt…
Thin-film 'Thermal Well' Emitters and Absorbers for High-Efficiency Thermophotovoltaics
Jonathan K. Tong, Wei-Chun Hsu, Yi Huang +2
A new approach is introduced to significantly improve the performance of thermophotovoltaic (TPV) systems by using low-dimensional thermal emitters and photovoltaic (PV) cells. By…
