Thermochromic solar absorber coatings with elevated transition temperature

Anna Krammer

Due to their simple design and operation, solar thermal collectors for domestic hot water gener-ation and space heating are one of the most common solar energy harvesting systems in use today. Dur-ing cold periods all the absorbed energy is useful. During ...

Thermochromic coatings for overheating protection of solar thermal collectors - novel type of doping (TARGET95)

Andreas Schueler, Anna Krammer

Overheating and the resulting stagnation of solar thermal collectors is a common problem even in central European latitudes. During stagnation, high temperatures lead to water evaporation, glycol degradation and stresses in the collector with increasing va ...

Wavelength-tunable UV laser for electron beam generation with low intrinsic emittance

Rasmus Ischebeck, Christoph Peter Hauri

We developed a powerful UV laser at a central wavelength varying from 260-283 nm. The laser system based on a frequency-trippled Ti:sapphire amplifier delivers mJ pulse energy within a duration of 1-10 ps (fwhm) with 1.5 nm spectral width (fwhm). The syste ...
