Thermophotovoltaics : shaping the flow of thermal radiation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
This thesis explores the modeling, design, and optimization of photonic crystals as spectral control components for high-performance thermophotovoltaic (TPV) power conversion. In particular, we focus on the use of ...
Quantization and erasures in frame representations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
Frame representations, which correspond to overcomplete generalizations to basis expansions, are often used in signal processing to provide robustness to errors. In this thesis robustness is provided through the use of ...
