Analysis of optical near-field energy transfer by stochastic model unifying architectural dependencies [PDF]
, 2014 We theoretically and experimentally demonstrate energy transfer mediated by optical near-field interactions in a multi-layer InAs quantum dot (QD) structure composed of a single layer of larger dots and N layers of smaller ones. We construct a stochastic

Daylighting standards: Do we have the correct metrics? [PDF]
Proceedings of the 21st International Conference LIGHT SVĚTLO 2015, 2015 Daylight in buildings is important in a number of ways and can bring benefits to building users and save energy. There are a number of ways to regulate the quality of daylit environments. The paper studies the way daylight adequacy is controlled in current guidance together with other metrics that are in use.
