Abstract

We have developed comprehensive and simulation tools that can reliably predict performance of thermo-radiative (TR) devices. Based on simulations and characterization, we have identified that the inefficient photon extraction from Hg_1−xCd_xTe is the main obstacle of achieving high-performing TR devices. We have designed photonic structures to significantly improve photon extraction from Hg_1−xCd_xTe, which promises order-of-magnitude TR performance improvement.
