Abstract: This work covers three topics related to the design and fabrication of optoelectric devices used for power generation. The first section describes research on frequency-selective emitters employing a Fabry-Perot design. These emitters are intended for use in the infrared and will tune the photonic output of a thermal power source to match the best operating point of a power conversion de... read morevice. The second section describes a project to produce an easily manufactured, broad-spectrum absorption surface by fabricating a biomimetic "Moth's Eye" structure. The third section describes the restoration and upgrading of a molecular beam epitaxy tool which will be used to research silicon/germanium based materials and devices. read less
