Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201403302-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>A metallic dielectric photonic crystal</bold> with solar broadband, omni‐directional, and tunable selective absorption with high temperature stable (1000 °C, 24 hrs) properties is fabricated on a 6" silicon wafer. The broadband absorption is due to a high density of optical cavity modes overlapped with an anti‐reflection coating. Results allow for large‐scale, low cost, and efficient solar‐thermal energy conversion. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh2sx11kmj" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
