Title: Thermal Emission Shaping and Radiative Cooling with Thermal Wells, Wires and Dots

Journal Article · · Journal of Optics

Here, we discuss radiative heat extraction and spectral shaping via engineering of the density of confined photon states in low-dimensional potential traps, including wells, wires, and dots. Applications include thermophotovoltaics, radiative cooling, energy up- and down-conversion.
