Improved light-to-electric energy conversion is needed for both solar energy harvesting and sensitive cameras in the visible and IR range. Optical rectennas combined with ultra-high speed rectifying diodes are a known nanotechnology for conversion of light to electric energy. However, the currently available systems are subject to the high impedance of the parasitic properties of the rectifying MIM diodes, rendering them inefficient … Continue reading Improved Rectenna System (IRS)™
