Abstract
This Letter presents a highly efficient emitter structure for solar thermophotovoltaic systems. The structure consists of a graded index on tungsten, shows a spectral efficiency of 59%, or 70% with the use of a back reflector, and is compared to other state-of-the-art emitter structures. The effects of different structures and periodicities on the efficiency of the emitter are explored, as well as the effect of a protective oxide coating. The causes of the antireflection properties of these structures are also explored.
