Enabling high-temperature nanophotonics for energy applications.
The nascent field of high-temperature nanophotonics could potentially enable many important solid-state energy conversion applications, such as thermophotovoltaic energy generation, selective solar absorption, and selective emission of light. However, special challenges arise when trying to design nanophotonic materials with precisely tailored optical properties that can operate at high-tempera...
متن کاملThick Sputtered Tantalum Coatings for High-Temperature Energy Conversion Applications
Thick sputtered tantalum (Ta) coatings on Inconel were investigated as a potential replacement for bulk refractory metal substrates used for high-temperature emitters and absorbers in thermophotovoltaic energy conversion applications. In these applications, high-temperature stability and high reflectance of the surface in the infrared wavelength range are critical in order to sustain operationa...
متن کاملDevelopment of DGTD solver for nanophotonics applications
During the last ten years, the discontinuous Galerkin timedomain (DGTD) method has progressively emerged as a viable alternative to well established finite-difference timedomain (FDTD) and finite-element time-domain (FETD) methods for the numerical simulation of electromagnetic wave propagation problems in the time-domain. We discuss here about the development and application of such a DTGD met...
متن کاملCurvilinear DGTD method for nanophotonics applications
Classical nite element methods rely on tessellations composed of straight-edged elements mapped linearly from a reference element, on domains which physical boundaries are indi erently straight or curved. This approximation represents serious hindrance for high-order methods, since they limit the precision of the spatial discretization to second order. Thus, exploiting an enhanced representatio...
متن کاملNanophotonics for Lab-on-Chip Applications
Optical methods are the preferred measurement techniques for biosensors and lab-on-chip applications. Their key properties are sensitivity, selectivity and robustness. To simplify the systems and their operation, it is desirable to employ label-free optical methods, requiring the functionalization of interfaces. Evanescent electromagnetic waves are probing the optical properties near the interf...
