Beam Shaping for Wireless Optical Charging with Improved Efficiency
Source abstract
Abstract
Optical wireless charging is a nonradiative long-distance power transfer method. It may potentially play an important role in certain scenarios where access is challenging, and the radio frequency power transfer is less efficient. The divergence of the optical beam over distances is a key limiting factor for the efficiency of any wireless optical charging system. In this work, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a holographic optical beam shaping system that can restrict the divergence of the optical beam. Our experimental results showed up to 354.88% improvement in the charging efficiency over a 10 m distance.
