Prototype of radioisotope thermophotovoltaic system using photonic crystal spectral control

This work describes a prototype of a small-size radioisotope thermophotovoltaic (RTPV) system with the two-dimensional metallic photonic crystal emitter and the low bandgap TPV cell. The project demonstrates the simulation and measurement of a system powered by an electrical heat source that mimics...
