Problems solved by technology

However, the efficiency of photovoltaic cells used in the existing transmitting end is about 10-20%, which is far below the requirements of practical applications, and the high-energy laser energy cannot be fully utilized.
The main limiting factors of terminal photoelectric conversion efficiency are the terminal laser energy distribution and the adaptation of photovoltaic cells
At present, the Gaussian beam is mainly shaped into a flat-top beam by light field regulation to improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency. However, it has not matched the arbitrary arrangement of photovoltaic cells, nor avoided the dead zone at the electrode connection.
The energy distribution of the laser beam is not uniform, and the hot spot effect generated will also lead to a decrease in the efficiency of the photovoltaic cell receiver
