Beaming power: Photovoltaic laser power converters for power-by-light
Joule, 2022 Photovoltaic laser power converters (PVLPCs) are the core element of power-by-light (PBL) systems, which are basically made up of a power laser, an optical fiber, and a PVLPC. PBL allows the safe transfer of power in situations where the direct use of electrical energy to power electronic equipment is either not possible or not recommendable. The first

Power Beaming Providing a Space Power Infrastructure [PDF]
SAE Technical Paper Series, 1992 <div class="htmlview paragraph">This study, based on two levels of technology maturity, applies the power beaming concept to four planned satellite constellations. The analysis shows that with currently available technology, power beaming can provide mass savings to constellations in orbits ranging from low-Earth orbit to geosynchronous orbit ...
