Optically-induced charge separation and terahertz emission in unbiased dielectrics
  • I am not a Physics major, one of you guys are...right. I hope you find this useful.

    “To manufacture modern solar cells, you have to do extensive semiconductor processing,” Fisher said. “All we would need are lenses to focus the light and a fiber to guide it. Glass works for both. It’s already made in bulk, and it doesn’t require as much processing. Transparent ceramics might be even better.”

    In experiments this summer, the researchers will work on harnessing this power with laser light, and then with sunlight.

    The paper is titled “Optically-induced charge separation and terahertz emission in unbiased dielectrics.” The university is pursuing patent protection for the intellectual property.

  • @jbrucearh, I did not have the chance to peruse the sites too in detail. Would you mind posting some information on here? Not sure how to interpret the first line, but I am interested in more information-- just too busy for too much jumping around online.
