The spectrally selective coating technology which can be applicable for solar-thermophotovoltaic (solar-TPV) generation systems is described in this paper. In solar-TPV system, the spectrally selective absorber plays a key role to obtain high-efficiency. The technologies of controlling thermal radiation spectrum at temperature over 1000°C, however, have not been established yet. We focus on metal-dielectric multi-layer coating. This selective coating shows enormously high absorptance at short wavelength range and sharp cutoff property. Thermal stability test confirms that this multi-layer structure can be one of the candidates for the selective coatings for solar-TPV systems.

A thermal radiation light source, such as an incandescent light bulb, is considered a legacy light source with low luminous efficacy. However, it is an ideal energy source converting light with high efficiency from electric power to radiative power. In this work, we evaluate a thermal radiation light source and propose a new type of filament using a refractory metasurface to fabricate an efficient light bulb. We demonstrate visible-light spectral control using a refractory metasurface made of tantalum with an optical microcavity inserted into an incandescent light bulb. We use a nanoimprint method to fabricate the filament that is suitable for mass production. A 1.8 times enhancement of thermal radiation intensity is observed from the microcavity filament compared to the flat filament. Then, we demonstrate the thermal radiation control of the metasurface using a refractory plasmonic cavity made of hafnium nitride. A single narrow resonant peak is observed at the designed wavelength as well as the suppression of thermal radiation in wide mid-IR range under the condition of constant surface temperature.

Spectral control of thermal radiation emitted from micro-cavities made on a mirror-like-polished Ni metal surface was investigated through numerical simulation and experiment. In simulation, thermal radiation from solid surface was dealt as hemispherical emission from point sources, and Maxwell’s equations were solved using CIP (Cubic Interpolated Propagation) method. It was demonstrated that the emittance could be increased around the wavelength corresponding to the standard mode of cavity resonance, while the emittance at wavelengths corresponding to the higher modes was much the same as that of smooth flat surface. Furthermore, in experiment using rectangular micro-cavities (0.5×0.5×0.5μm3) made periodically on Ni smooth surface, spectral emittance was measured in the near-infrared region. The experimental results disclosed that the emissive power only in the range of shorter wavelength than 1.2μm was increased by the micro-cavities that played a role of a wave guide to produce cutoff effect clearly.
