It was interesting to talk with Darren Orf recently about the opportunities and challenges of wireless power beaming. www.popularmechanics.com/science/ener...
Wireless Electricity Is on the Horizon—And It Could ‘Beam’ Power Right to Your House
Power beaming could allow an orbiting space-based power station to deliver one gigawatt of solar power, enough to power about 1 million homes annually.

Congratulations to Matthew Robinson for publishing his first paper on Two-Dimensional Coupled Wave Theory for Triangular Lattice TM-Polarised Photonic Crystal Surface Emitting Lasers (PCSELs) - a hot topic in the #semiconductor #laser field ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/doc...
Two-Dimensional Coupled Wave Theory for Triangular Lattice TM-Polarised Photonic Crystal Surface Emitting Lasers
This paper presents a coupled-wave analysis of triangular-lattice photonic crystal surface emitting lasers (PCSELs) with transverse magnetic polarization. Six plane waves coupled by Bragg diffraction ...

Excellent first day networking and hearing from sector leads at the Space Tech Expo Europe in Bremen. I wasn’t expecting snow though! ☃️
