【摘要】 近年来,基于磁共振和近场耦合的非辐射无线能量传输技术已被广泛应用.然而,由于传输效率和功率随着距离增加而大幅降低,基于双谐振器的无线能量传输系统仅适用于中短距离应用.基于多中继谐振器的无线能量传输系统可克服该问题,然而该复杂系统对微扰和缺陷极为敏感.针对上述问题,本文实验验证了稳健性拓扑无线能量传输.电磁能量可通过位于一维无线电波拓扑绝缘体两端的拓扑边界态之间的近场耦合高效传递.该结构可等效为具有复边界电势的宇称-时间对称的Su-Schrieffer-Heeger链.此外,所设计的线圈结构可抑制不相邻线圈之间非必要的交叉耦合.该工作理论和实验上验证了即使存在微扰的情况下,该系统仍可在拓扑边界态的奇异点附近保持极高的能量传输效率.该工作将拓扑电磁材料、非厄米物理和无线能量传输技术三者结合,为未来电子、交通运输和工业中的长距离无线传输提供稳定、高效的平台.更多还原

【Abstract】 Recent advances in non-radiative wireless power transfer(WPT) technique essentially relying on magnetic resonance and near-field coupling have successfully enabled a wide range of applications.However, WPT systems based on double resonators are severely limited to short-or mid-range distance,due to the deteriorating efficiency and power with long transfer distance. WPT systems based on multirelay resonators can overcome this problem, which, however, suffer from sensitivity to perturbations and fabrication imperfections. Here, we experimentally demonstrate a concept of topological wireless power transfer(TWPT), where energy is transferred efficiently via the near-field coupling between two topological edge states localized at the ends of a one-dimensional radiowave topological insulator. Such a TWPT system can be modelled as a parity-time-symmetric Su-Schrieffer-Heeger(SSH) chain with complex boundary potentials. Besides, the coil configurations are judiciously designed, which significantly suppress the unwanted cross-couplings between nonadjacent coils that could break the chiral symmetry of the SSH chain. By tuning the inter-and intra-cell coupling strengths, we theoretically and experimentally demonstrate high energy transfer efficiency near the exceptional point of the topological edge states,even in the presence of disorder. The combination of topological metamaterials, non-Hermitian physics,and WPT techniques could promise a variety of robust, efficient WPT applications over long distances in electronics, transportation, and industry.更多还原
