  • Method and system for waveguide thermophotovoltaic power generation
    Patent number: 11011658
    Abstract: Method and system for wavelength thermophotovoltaic (WTPV) power generation. In one embodiment, the system comprises a refractory waveguide that collects broadband infrared light generated by a heat source; a filter that filters the collected broadband infrared light to generate narrow-band infrared light; and a thermophotovoltaic (TPV) converter, thermally de-coupled from the heat source, that receives the narrow-band infrared light and converts the received narrow-band infrared light to electrical power.
