  • Patent number: 11754352
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a visible light-transparent and radiative-cooling multilayer film, including N layers of films which have different thicknesses and are arranged alternately. The visible light-transparent and radiative-cooling multilayer film adopts a new film layer arrangement, so that the multilayer film has an extremely high visible light transmittance while achieving radiative cooling. Among others, the multilayer film is composed of two materials having high visible light-transmittance. Since there is a difference between dielectric constants of the two materials, a resonant cavity or resonant cavities may be formed among material layers. The resonant cavity may enhance the electric field therein, thereby increasing the radiance of the structure greatly. The present disclosure has the advantages of simple structure, easy to process, good cooling effect, high visible light transmittance and low cost.

  • Publication number: 20190137793
    Abstract: A method for regulating the phase of a wide-band electromagnetic wave uses a meta-surface sub-wavelength structure and the meta-surface sub-wavelength structure. The sub-wavelength structure is used as a basic unit of the meta-surface, and the basic unit is arranged in an array according to a regular order determined by the predetermined phase to generate a geometrical phase distribution with the spatial continuity and the spectral achromaticity between 0 and 2?, so that the phase is controlled and modulated in a two dimensional plane. The operating bandwidth may cover the entire electromagnetic spectrum, and a variety of optical devices such as reflective focusing/imaging elements, transmission focusing/imaging elements, prisms, orbital angular momentum generator may be realized. As an extension of the phase regulation, the method may also realize other novel electromagnetic wave functions such as wideband absorption and radar cross section reduction.
