Nanophotonic control of thermal radiation for energy applications [Invited]

Journal Article Li, Wei ; Fan, Shanhui - Optics Express

The ability to control thermal radiation is of fundamental importance for a wide range of applications. Nanophotonic structures, where at least one of the structural features are at a wavelength or sub-wavelength scale, can have thermal radiation properties that are drastically different from conventional thermal emitters, and offer exciting opportunities for energy applications. Here we review recent developments of nanophotonic control of thermal radiation, and highlight some exciting energy application opportunities, such as daytime radiative cooling, thermal textile, and thermophotovoltaic systems that are enabled by nanophotonic structures.

Thermodynamic limits of energy harvesting from outgoing thermal radiation

Journal Article Buddhiraju, Siddharth ; Santhanam, Parthiban ; Fan, Shanhui - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

We derive the thermodynamic limits of harvesting power from the outgoing thermal radiation from the ambient to the cold outer space. The derivations are based on a duality relation between thermal engines that harvest solar radiation and those that harvest outgoing thermal radiation. In particular, we derive the ultimate limit for harvesting outgoing thermal radiation, which is analogous to the Landsberg limit for solar energy harvesting, and show that the ultimate limit far exceeds what was previously thought to be possible. As an extension of our work, we also derive the ultimate limit of efficiency of thermophotovoltaic systems.

Relation between absorption and emission directivities for dipoles coupled with optical antennas

Journal Article Zhao, Zhexin ; Shi, Yu ; Chen, Kaifeng ; ... - Physical Review A

Optical antennas have been widely used to control the absorption and emission properties of dipole emitters. Understanding the relationship between the absorption and emission processes of such dipole emitters in the presence of optical antennas is therefore of fundamental importance. Here we provide an in-depth analysis of the relationship between the absorption and emission directivities of dipoles coupling to optical antennas. Here, we show that, for reciprocal systems, the absorption and emission directivities are identical for a single dipole emitter, and also in the case of multiple dipole emitters when one considers incoherent emission from the emitters.
