CALL FOR PAPERS

Thermal Radiation Management for Energy Applications (OP202)Conference Chairs: Peter Bermel, Purdue Univ. (USA); Mowafak M. Al-Jassim, National Renewable Energy Lab. (USA)

Program Committee: Partha Dutta, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (USA)

Thermal radiation is a fundamental heat transfer process, which plays an outsized role in many sus-tainable energy systems, particularly at elevated temperatures. In this context, achieving control over thermal radiation offers many novel phenomena as well as valuable applications. For instance, it has the potential to convert input heat into use-ful optical emission, which can select for certain angles or wavelengths. Recent developments in material science, nanophotonics, plasmonics, and metasurfaces make this a uniquely promising time to develop new capabilities in this direction. These new capabilities can then have direct applications in a range of fields, including but not limited to energy-efficient lighting, infrared sources, and the thermophotovoltaic generation of electricity. Other topics of relevance in thermophotovoltaics include design of advanced photonic crystals effective in high-temperature environments, management of excess heat in the photovoltaic cell, enhancement of the low-bandgap photovoltaic cells, and inte-grating various components into high-performance systems. Another key area requiring careful control of thermal radiation is radiative cooling, whether for terrestrial or space-based applications. Radiative cooling allows both for daytime passive cooling above and beyond standard convective processes, as well as below-ambient cooling for night time power generation. In summary, achieving control over thermal radiation is a multi-faceted, multidisciplinary problems impacting both basic science and practical applications, where more exciting new ideas could potentially reach fruition.

Special topics of interest:

THERMOPHOTOVOLTAICS• low-bandgap photovoltaic cells • photovoltaic thermal management • advanced photonic crystals • high-temperature reliability • system integration strategies.

SELECTIVE THERMAL EMITTERS• wavelength-selective thermal emission • angle-selective thermal emission • thermal null beam steering • energy-efficient lighting • thermal emission characterization.

SELECTIVE SOLAR ABSORBERS• solar heating for hot water • solar photovoltaic/solar thermal hybrid systems • solar thermal storage.

RADIATIVE COOLING• selective radiative emission near ambient

temperature • daytime cooling • below-ambient cooling.

The International Conference on Solid State Lighting and LED-based Illumination Systems brings together researchers and practitioners in Solid State Lighting by presenting recent advances in all areas of SSL from device production through the final implementation and application. Specifically, this conference will cover four different areas: (1) Application, System Level Design and

Optimization(2) Device Level Packaging and Testing(3) Reliability and Standards for LED(4) Solid State Lighting.

The continued development of high-brightness light emitting diodes, LEDs, based on group III-Nitrides has led to revolutionary new approaches for light-ing and general illumination, as recognized with the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physics for the invention of efficient blue LEDs. Advancements in LEDs have led to luminous efficiencies exceeding incandescent light bulbs and fluorescent sources. LED die, package, and module technologies have been quickly evolving and improving in the past several years. Sufficient lumi-nous flux, high efficacy, long durability, and potential improvement of light quality of the LEDs has led to rapid implementation of LED-based illuminating systems or Solid-State Lighting (SSL) in many places from accent lighting, electronic indicator / display applications, and more recently general illumination. The potentials of lighting performance quality, as well as the lighting intelligence or smart lighting has also been demonstrated. Improving SSL uptake is an essential issue that will need to be improved worldwide as SSL goes forward.

The technical challenges in the implementation of SSL may be presented in the areas of lighting system configuration, optical design, thermal management, electronics and controls, reliability, and testing methods. Studies and researches have been carried in both industry and academia. These research re-sults indicate a trend for wider applications of LED-based illuminating systems. The implementation of LEDs and lasers in general lighting applications will require new lighting paradigms. Standardization in the lighting market will be necessary to enable the levels of availability and interoperability that are needed for LEDs to be fully accepted by the public. Both LED package level and LED illuminating system level standards have been established for chromaticity, luminous flux maintenance, and safety in terms of testing and performance. LM-79 and LM-80 are absolute photometry and lifetime measuring methods set by DOE and IES that are currently being

used for standardization of all LED fixtures. There is a need for collaboration between engineers and designers to come up with viable packages for LED implementation that show the general public that LED fixtures are viable replacements for conventional lighting methods.

There have also been rapid advances made in the development of organic and polymeric light emitting diodes, OLEDs, which are now exhibiting illumination-area efficiencies similar to inorganic devices. These OLEDs may play a central role in lighting applications that establish large area illumi-nation compared to point light sources produced by inorganic devices. Solid State Lighting technology is rapidly advancing with very large markets are waiting for new technologies that can deliver more efficient light sources. The use of LEDs and OLEDs in Solid State Lighting is the technology of the future for lighting and general illumination. Participants in the International Conference on Solid State Lighting will be able to interact in parallel tracks at the Op-tics + Photonics Meeting related to SSL design and implementation in the areas of LED illumination and optical design, nanoepitaxial growth, and organic light emitting diodes.

This conference will demonstrate accomplishments and status of SSL technologies. Suggested topics are listed below.

CALL FOR PAPERS

Nonimaging Optics: Efficient Design for Illumination and Solar Concentration XIV (OP221)Conference Chair: Roland Winston, Univ. of California, Merced (USA)

Program Committee: Pablo Benítez, CeDInt-UPM (Spain), Light Prescriptions Innovators LLC {United States); William J. Cassarly, Synopsys, Inc. (USA); Daniel Feuermann, Ben-Gurion Univ. of the Negev (Israel); Juan Carlos Miñano, CeDInt-UPM (Spain), Light Prescriptions Innovators LLC {United States); Narkis E. Shatz, SureFire, LLC (USA)

Many important optical subsystems are concerned with power transfer and brightness rather than with image fidelity. Nonimaging optics is a design ap-proach that departs from the methods of traditional optical design to develop techniques for maximizing the collecting power of concentrator and illuminator systems.

Nonimaging devices substantially outperform conventional imaging lenses and mirrors in these applications, approaching the theoretical (ther-modynamic) limit. Nonimaging design methods usually involve solving ordinary or partial differential equations, calculating the flow lines of the ray bun-dles, coupling the edge rays of extended sources and targets or optimizing a multi-parameter merit function computed by ray-tracing techniques. While geometrically based, the design fundamentals have been extended to the diffraction limited and even sub-wavelength domain. Therefore applicability ex-ists in near-field optical microscopy and nanometer scale optics.

This conference will address the theory of nonim-aging optics and its application to the design and experimental realization of illumination and con-centration systems, tailored freeform optics, display backlighting, condenser optics, high-flux solar and infrared concentration, daylighting, LED optical systems, laser pumping, and luminaires.

The revival of considerable work in solar energy concentration for both photovoltaic and thermal applications, much of which includes nonimaging optics, prompts reincorporating these fields into this conference.

The use of nonimaging optics promises higher effi-ciency, relaxed physical tolerances, improved optical uniformity, and reduced manufacturing costs. We encourage submissions ranging from fundamentals to critical design issues and practical applications.





Paper submissions are also solicited in the following and related areas:• radiative transfer near the étendue limit • concentrator optics • illumination and irradiation optics • solar photovoltaic and solar thermal

concentration • fiber-optic and light-pipe optical systems • radiometry • daylighting • characterization of light-transfer devices • freeform optics • optical furnaces and radiative heating • infrared detection • LED applications • laser pumping • condenser optics.
