Tunable Nanophotonic Infrared Filter Based on Thermochromic Vanadium Dioxide
Background Optical bandpass filters only allow incident light within one or more specified wavelength bands to be transmitted through or reflected from the device, while blocking others. The key parameters of these filters are the central or peak wavelength and the desired spectral range. Reflective filters using Fabry-Perot (FP) cavities reflect a...

Silicon-Cored Tungsten Nanowire as Selective Metamaterial Absorbers for Enhanced Solar Thermal Energy Conversion
Background For efficient harvesting of solar energy to heat, spectrally selective absorbers with high solar absorption and low infrared emission are highly desired. Currently available absorbers are based on multilayer, periodic tungsten convex or concave gratings, nickel nanopyramids and tungsten nanowires/doughnuts, and nanoporous or nanoparticle...

Enhanced Infrared Emission with Scalable Microstructured VO2 Metasurfaces
Background The performance of radiative heat dissipation through a surface depends heavily on the radiative properties of the surface, which are usually static or a weak function of temperature. Dynamic control of radiative properties has attracted increasing interest because of the ability to adapt to the changing environment and the promise of greater...

Spectrally-Selective Vanadium Dioxide–Based Variable-Emittance Coating for Dynamic Radiative Cooling
­Background Recently there has been significant interest in selective radiative cooling coatings for passive thermal control applications, and tremendous progress has been made with static thermal control coatings. However, a tunable radiative coating with variable emittance could help to reduce energy consumption in buildings by limiting heat loss...
