<p>A thermophotovoltaic energy conversion system includes a thermal energy source (12) and a narrow band emitter (26) spaced and optically isolated from the thermal energy source. Thermal energy is transferred between the thermal energy source and the emitter by a non-radiative mechanism, such as a closed loop fluid flow path (34, 36) that interconnects the thermal energy source and the narrow band emitter (26). A photocell array (28) is disposed in optically coupled relation to the narrow band emitter (26) for generating an electrical output in response to radiation from the narrow band emitter (26).</p> |
