Title: Spectrally selective coatings for optical surfaces

Abstract

Techniques, systems, devices and materials are disclosed for spectrally selective coatings for optical surfaces having high solar absorptivity, low infrared emissivity, and strong durability at elevated temperatures. In one aspect, a spectrally selective coating includes a substrate formed of a light absorbing material, and a composite material formed over the substrate and including nanoparticles dispersed in a dielectric material, in which the composite material forms a coating capable of absorbing solar energy in a selected spectrum and reflecting the solar energy in another selected spectrum.

Surface figure control for coated optics

Patent Ray-Chaudhuri, Avijit K [Livermore, CA]; Spence, Paul A [Pleasanton, CA]; Kanouff, Michael P [Livermore, CA]

A pedestal optical substrate that simultaneously provides high substrate dynamic stiffness, provides low surface figure sensitivity to mechanical mounting hardware inputs, and constrains surface figure changes caused by optical coatings to be primarily spherical in nature. The pedestal optical substrate includes a disk-like optic or substrate section having a top surface that is coated, a disk-like base section that provides location at which the substrate can be mounted, and a connecting cylindrical section between the base and optics or substrate sections. The optic section has an optical section thickness.sup.2 /optical section diameter ratio of between about 5 to 10 mm,more »« less

System for generating shaped optical pulses and measuring optical pulses using spectral beam deflection (SBD)

Patent Skupsky, Stanley [Rochester, NY]; Kessler, Terrance J [Rochester, NY]; Letzring, Samuel A [Honeoye Falls, NY]

A temporally shaped or modified optical output pulse is generated from a bandwidth-encoded optical input pulse in a system in which the input pulse is in the form of a beam which is spectrally spread into components contained within the bandwidth, followed by deflection of the spectrally spread beam (SBD) thereby spatially mapping the components in correspondence with the temporal input pulse profile in the focal plane of a lens, and by spatially selective attenuation of selected components in that focal plane. The shaped or modified optical output pulse is then reconstructed from the attenuated spectral components. The pulse-shaping systemmore »« less

Optical fiducial timing system for X-ray streak cameras with aluminum coated optical fiber ends

Patent Nilson, David G [Oakland, CA]; Campbell, E Michael [Pleasanton, CA]; MacGowan, Brian J [Livermore, CA]; ...

An optical fiducial timing system is provided for use with interdependent groups of X-ray streak cameras (18). The aluminum coated (80) ends of optical fibers (78) are positioned with the photocathodes (20, 60, 70) of the X-ray streak cameras (18). The other ends of the optical fibers (78) are placed together in a bundled array (90). A fiducial optical signal (96), that is comprised of 2.omega. or 1.omega. laser light, after introduction to the bundled array (90), travels to the aluminum coated (82) optical fiber ends and ejects quantities of electrons (84) that are recorded on the data recording mediamore »« less

Solar power conversion system with directionally- and spectrally-selective properties based on a reflective cavity

Patent Boriskina, Svetlana; Kraemer, Daniel; McEnaney, Kenneth; ...

Solar power conversion system. The system includes a cavity formed within an enclosure having highly specularly reflecting in the IR spectrum inside walls, the enclosure having an opening to receive solar radiation. An absorber is positioned within the cavity for receiving the solar radiation resulting in heating of the absorber structure. In a preferred embodiment, the system further contains an energy conversion and storage devices thermally-linked to the absorber by heat conduction, convection, far-field or near-field thermal radiation.

Spectrally selective semiconductor dielectric photonic solar thermal absorber

Patent Thomas, Nathan H.; Minnich, Austin

A solar thermal absorber including a spectrally selective filter comprising a stack of dielectric layers and one or more semiconductor absorber layers. The dielectric layers are transparent to infrared radiation and have a refractive index contrast, and the semiconductor absorber layers have a band gap, such that the semiconductor absorber layers absorb at least a portion of the solar spectrum and the stack reflects infrared radiation.
