摘要

摘要

En 中文
Optical rectennas are antenna-coupled diode rectifiers that receive and convert optical-frequency electromagnetic radiation into DC output. The analysis of rectennas is carried out either classically using Maxwell's wave-like approach, or quantum-mechanically using Einstein's particle-like approach for electromagnetic radiation. One of the characteristics of classical operation is that multiple photons transfer their energy to individual electrons, whereas in quantum operation each photon transfers its energy to each electron. We analyze the correspondence between the two approaches by comparing rectenna response first to monochromatic illumination obtained using photon-assisted tunnelling theory and classical theory. Applied to broadband rectenna operation, this correspondence provides clues to designing a rectenna solar cell that has the potential to exceed the 44% quantum-limited conversion efficiency. The comparison of operating regimes shows how optical rectenna operation differs from microwave rectenna operation.
