Angular Photonic Band Gap
- Technology Application
- For solar energy applications, this technology enables nearly perfect green-house effect.
- Detailed Technology Description
- None
- *Abstract
-
Problem:Efficiency of the solar-energy conversion is limited by re-radiation of sun-light which causes energy loss.Technology:This invention presents numerical simulations of a novel class of material systems that strongly discriminate light based on the angle of incidence, over a broad range of frequencies, and irrespective of the polarization. Unique properties of these systems emerge from exploring photonic crystals whose constituents have anisotropic dielectric response.
