Fabrication of Infrared Energy Harvester Using Electrically Small Particles

摘要

This paper presents a novel structure composed of electrically small particles and transmission line to harvest and channel infrared power to a potential load. The proposed harvester is numerically proven able to harvest more than 80% of infrared power at a normal incidence angle. The dispersion effects of the two metallic layers used in the harvester are computed using the Drude model. Fabrication results of the proposed structure before and after adding adhesion layer are discussed.
