Direct thermal infrared vision via nanophotonic detector design
Chinmay Khandekar, Weiliang Jin, Shanhui Fan
Detection of infrared (IR) photons in a room-temperature IR camera is carried out by a two-dimensional array of microbolometer pixels which exhibit temperature-sensitive resistivit…
Maximal nighttime electrical power generation via optimal radiative cooling
Lingling Fan, Wei Li, Weiliang Jin +2
We present a systematic optimization of nighttime thermoelectric power generation system utilizing radiative cooling. We show that an electrical power density over 2 W/m2, two orde…
Inverse design of lightweight broadband reflector for efficient lightsail propulsion
Weiliang Jin, Wei Li, Meir Orenstein +1
Light can exert forces on objects, promising to propel a meter-scale lightsail to near the speed of light. The key to address many challenges in such an ambition hinges on the nano…
Fundamental limits to radiative heat transfer: theory
Sean Molesky, Prashanth S. Venkataram, Weiliang Jin +1
Near-field radiative heat transfer between bodies at the nanoscale can surpass blackbody limits on thermal radiation by orders of magnitude due to contributions from evanescent ele…
-operator bounds on angle-integrated absorption and thermal radiation for arbitrary objects
Sean Molesky, Weiliang Jin, Prashanth S. Venkataram +1
We derive fundamental per-channel bounds on angle-integrated absorption and thermal radiation for arbitrary bodies---for any given material susceptibility and bounding region---tha…
Fundamental limits to radiative heat transfer: the limited role of nanostructuring in the near field
Prashanth S. Venkataram, Sean Molesky, Weiliang Jin +1
In a complementary article, we exploited algebraic properties of Maxwell's equations and fundamental principles such as electromagnetic reciprocity and passivity, to derive fundame…
