Simple Rectangular Gratings as a Near-Field “Anti-Reflection” Pattern for GaSb TPV Cells
Abstract We show theoretically that 2D rectangular gratings on the surface of GaSb can serve as an “anti-reflection” pattern for nano-gap thermophotovoltaic (TPV) devices, which significantly enhances near-field radiative flux from the emitter to a GaSb cell, thus improving output power and conversi...
