Distributed laser charging (DLC) is a wireless power transfer technology for mobile electronics. Similar to traditional wireless charging systems, the DLC system can only provide constant power to charge a battery. However, Li-ion battery needs dynamic input current and voltage, thus power, in order to optimize battery charging performance. Therefore, neither power transmission efficiency nor battery charging performance can be optimized by the DLC system. We at first propose an adaptive DLC (ADLC) system to optimize wireless power transfer efficiency and battery charging performance. Then, we analyze ADLC's power conversion to depict the adaptation mechanism. Finally, we evaluate the ADLC's power conversion performance by simulation, which illustrates its efficiency improvement by saving at least 60.4% of energy, comparing with the fixed-power charging system.
