Abstract
Optical wireless power transmission (OWPT) has been a promising solution for remote power supply, eliminating the need for power cables or batteries. In this paper, we propose a light emitting diode (LED) array based OWPT system with improved transmission efficiency and compact system dimension. In this experiment, the proposed four-LED-array collimation scheme achieved a lens system efficiency as high as 70%, while obtaining an electrical power of 0.8 W from a 50 × 50 mm2 GaAs solar cell at 1 m. The emitting side with the lens system was integrated into a 120 × 114 × 61 mm3 portable device by 3D printing. In addition, the thermal performance of the integrated module and the effective surface irradiance at the receiving side were analyzed in detail. The proposed system exhibits high efficiency and portability, with the advantageous potential to temporarily power remote devices.
