Losses in plasmonics: from mitigating energy dissipation to embracing loss-enabled functionalities
Svetlana V. Boriskina, Thomas Alan Cooper, Lingping Zeng +7
Unlike conventional optics, plasmonics enables unrivalled concentration of optical energy well beyond the diffraction limit of light. However, a significant part of this energy is…
Semi-Transparent Solar Cell enabled by Frequency Selective Light Trapping
Duncan C. Wheeler, Yichen Shen, Yi Yang +5
We propose a frequency selective light trapping scheme that enables the creation of more visually-transparent and yet simultaneously more efficient semitransparent solar cells. A n…
Entropic and Near-Field Improvements of Thermoradiative Cells
Wei-Chun Hsu, Jonathan K. Tong, Bolin Liao +3
A p-n junction maintained at above ambient temperature can work as a heat engine, converting some of the supplied heat into electricity and rejecting entropy by interband emission.…
Enhancement and tunability of near-field radiative heat transfer mediated by surface plasmon polaritons in thin plasmonic films
Svetlana V. Boriskina, Jonathan K. Tong, Yi Huang +3
The properties of thermal radiation exchange between hot and cold objects can be strongly modified if they interact in the near field where electromagnetic coupling occurs across g…
Heat meets light on the nanoscale
Svetlana V. Boriskina, Jonathan K. Tong, Wei-Chun Hsu +4
We discuss the state-of-the-art and remaining challenges in the fundamental understanding and technology development for controlling light-matter interactions in nanophotonic envir…
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…
