Fano-resonant metamaterials and their applications (2013, neutral): “…property of “perfect” spectrally-selective wide-angle infrared absorption has been proposed for several practical applications, including ultra-sensitive refractive index sensing [60, 110] and highly efficient thermal photovoltaics [48, 115] spectrally matched to the bandgap of a photovoltaic cell.”
Design of multi-band metamaterial perfect absorbers with stacked metal–dielectric disks (2013, background): “Metamaterials with near unity absorption are highly desirable for many applications including micro-bolometers [7], sensors [8], thermal imagers, and absorbers used in thermal photo-voltaic solar energy conversion [9].”
Next-generation mid-infrared sources (2017, background): “potential utility as mid-IR sources with relatively narrow band emission [16–20], but even more for potential applications regarding thermophotovoltaic (TPV) energy conversion [21, 22], where the thermal emission from a hot surface is”
Plasmonic materials for energy: From physics to applications (2013, background): “ using non-resonant mechanisms such as adiabatic focusing and/or Brewster funneling in tapered structures [18, 84, 85, 86], by engineering nanoparticles or particle clusters with a broadband response [10, 87, 88], by integrating several plasmonic elements tuned to operate at different wavelengths [7”
