Experimental Demonstration of 28.2% Thermophotovoltaic Conversion Efficiency

Efficient luminescence extraction enables us to use the photovoltaic band gap as the spectral filter for thermophotovoltaics. Using this concept, we demonstrate a 28.2% conversion efficiency, higher than the previously reported value for the range of the emitter temperature (700oC-1250oC) used.
