Abstract
Optical wireless power transmission (OWPT) is a promising technology for remote energy supply, especially for powering Internet of things (IoT) terminals. Light-emitting diode (LED)-based power sources of OWPT are attractive for the development of high-performance systems without the constraints of safety issues. In this paper, the electricity output of a near-infrared LED-OWPT is significantly improved. The saturation output caused by the small lens aperture in the LED array collimation scheme was analyzed. The experiment achieved a maximum electricity output of more than 1 W from a 50 × 50 mm2 GaAs solar cell at 1 m transmission distance. In addition, the thermal features also proved the feasibility of a high-output LED-OWPT system for practical applications.
