Electrodeposited 3D Tungsten Photonic Crystals with Enhanced Thermal Stability
Photonic band gaps can emerge when materials are periodically organized with characteristic dimensions on the order of the wavelength of light. Such materials are commonly known as photonic crystals. Proposed applications for photonic crystals include a wide range of functional optical devices including lowloss optical fibers, three-dimensional waveguides, zero-threshold lasers, sensors, and en...
متن کاملTailoring self-assembled metallic photonic crystals for modified thermal emission.
We predict that modified thermal emission can result from three-dimensional, self-assembled photonic crystals. In previous tungsten structures, known as inverse opals, strong absorption prevented any influence of the periodicity. We consider the origin of this effect and show how to tailor both absorption and surface coupling in experimentally realizable metallic inverse opals. Calculations for...
متن کاملLarge-area fabrication of high aspect ratio tantalum photonic crystals for high-temperature selective emitters
The authors present highly selective emitters based on two-dimensional tantalum (Ta) photonic crystals, fabricated on 2 in. polycrystalline Ta substrates, for high-temperature applications, e.g., thermophotovoltaic energy conversion. In this study, a fabrication route facilitating large-area photonic crystal fabrication with high fabrication uniformity and accuracy, based on interference lithog...
متن کاملHigh-temperature stability and selective thermal emission of polycrystalline tantalum photonic crystals.
We present the results of extensive characterization of selective emitters at high temperatures, including thermal emission measurements and thermal stability testing at 1000 °C for 1h and 900 °C for up to 144 h. The selective emitters were fabricated as 2D photonic crystals (PhCs) on polycrystalline tantalum (Ta), targeting large-area applications in solid-state heat-to-electricity conversion....
متن کاملThree-dimensional self-assembled photonic crystals with high temperature stability for thermal emission modification.
Selective thermal emission in a useful range of energies from a material operating at high temperatures is required for effective solar thermophotovoltaic energy conversion. Three-dimensional metallic photonic crystals can exhibit spectral emissivity that is modified compared with the emissivity of unstructured metals, resulting in an emission spectrum useful for solar thermophotovoltaics.
