Description
We propose to develop and demonstrate a compact high efficiency power beaming system that couples a 1.5-micron laser source to a high quantum efficiency, low cost, GaSb-based infrared photovoltaics receiver for agile power distribution from the edge of a moon crater to a charging station.nbsp;This could serve as a first step toward eye safe power dense wireless energy transfer. With the use of concentrator lenses the efficiency of the system will be higher and the weight will be lower.nbsp;
