Dual layer selective emitter

A selective emitter consisting of two layers separated by a vacuum is analyzed. The bottom layer consists of a selective emitting material such as a rare earth containing crystal on a metal substrate. The top layer, which blocks long wavelength radiation, is a window such as sapphire with a deposite...

Zusammenfassung:A selective emitter consisting of two layers separated by a vacuum is analyzed. The bottom layer consists of a selective emitting material such as a rare earth containing crystal on a metal substrate. The top layer, which blocks long wavelength radiation, is a window such as sapphire with a deposited metal film. As a result of reduced long wavelength emission, the theoretical analysis shows that the emitter efficiency can be increased by nearly a factor of 2.
