Abstract

Photonic power conversion combined with a high power laser diode, is a high efficiency solution for rapid, wireless transfer of power to dormant sensors, which have sporadic need for electrical power. In particular, these devices replace, thermal/inductive power sources inside a munition shell, leading to a safe non-radiating environment. Experimental results with a 25 F double-layer, super-capacitor, indicate that the surface irradiance and laser power both determine the minimum energy transfer time. At a power level of 4 W, the energy transfer rate reduces from a 1 J/s to 0.35 J/s as the irradiance level changes from 1125 suns to 63 suns.
