    Abstract: An electromagnetic energy concentrator uses a prism and waveguide with a gap layer of uniform thickness disposed between the prism and a first surface of waveguide. Energy detectors, which may be photovoltaics or miniaturized antenna elements are disposed adjacent to and co-extensive with a second surface of the waveguide. The detectors operate in each of at least two bands; a distance between detectors operating in a given band depends on a wavelength in the given band.

    Abstract: A solar energy collector includes a prism coupled waveguide and a cladding material layer coextensive with the waveguide core. Photovoltaics (PVs) are disposed within the cladding layer, with the PVs active in at least two wavelength ranges. The PVs are further spaced apart depending upon their active wavelength range. The cladding layer may include two or more material layers of at least two different dielectric constants. In that arrangement, the PVs are further grouped such that the PVs disposed in a first one of the cladding layers has a different active wavelength range than an active wavelength range of the PVs disposed in a second cladding layer.

    Abstract: The use of rectennas, or antenna-coupled rectifiers, using metal-insulator-metal tunnel diodes as rectifiers for energy conversion has been explored with more fervor recently, given the advances in nanotechnology fabrication and increased resolution of features. Some have made these devices from symmetric metals (e.g. Ni—NiO—Ni) and asymmetric metals (e.g. Al—AlOx/Pt), and have used deposited oxides as well as native oxides. One key to obtaining a highly asymmetric device with efficient current generation needed for high conversion efficiency is to instead use dissimilar metals and a thin reproducible oxide. The described method allows for a thin, reproducible native oxide of nickel be integrated with any antenna metal to overcome oxide surface roughness problems that typically hamper the practicality of these devices.

    Abstract: An electromagnetic energy collector includes a planar waveguide formed of multiple material layers having at least two different dielectric constants. Mirrors formed within the waveguide core. Metal-insulator-metal (MIM) detectors are aligned with the mirrors, and disposed below the bottom surface of the waveguide. The mirrors may be etched at an angle into the waveguide. In some arrangements, wherein a plurality of MIM detectors are disposed in a column or 3D array beneath each mirror. A wavelength range of the MIM detectors disposed closer to a respective mirror is lower than a wavelength range of a MIM detector disposed farther away from the same mirror.
