Provided herein are systems and methods for a multisource capable thermophotovoltaic (TPV) system. The TPV system includes an absorber that receives directed energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation from at least a primary source and converts the electromagnetic radiation to thermal energy, an emitter, thermally coupled to the absorber, wherein the emitter receives the thermal energy from the absorber and radiates the thermal energy, and a photovoltaic cell which receives the thermal energy from the emitter and converts the thermal energy to electric power. The absorber may receive energy from at least a second source providing a combination of two or more power generation technologies to obtain efficiencies higher than what could be obtained by identical sources individually. Using multiple sources also provides the capability to extend the duration of available electric power to a load and to control the output power in response to the variable loads.

A thin film optical lens and method for coating an optical substrate serves to apply alternating layers, with varying thicknesses, of a high index dielectric material and a low index dielectric material on first and second surfaces of an optical substrate. The high and low index dielectric materials are layered through thin film deposition. The low index dielectric material is SiO2. The high index dielectric material is ZrO2 and/or Indium Zinc Oxide. The spectral results from application of high and low index dielectric materials reduce infrared radiation, block HEV light transmission, and reduce backside ultraviolet reflections, while also increasing visible (ultraviolet) light transmission through the optical substrate. Thus, the layering of dielectric materials on the first surface of optical substrate reflects up to 40% of the infrared radiation; and the second surface of optical substrate transmits 99% of ultraviolet light in the wavelength range between 300 to 400 nanometers.

Methods for drying a substrate. The methods include the following steps: (a) emitting infrared radiation towards a substrate moving through a process space using an emitter unit comprising at least one infrared emitter, (b) generating at least two process gas streams of a process gas directed towards the substrate, (c) drying the substrate by the action of infrared radiation and process gas on the substrate, and (d) extracting moisture-laden process gas from the process space via an extraction duct, forming an exhaust air stream leading away from the substrate. To specify a drying method which is reproducible and effective and leads to an improved result, in particular in terms of homogeneity and speed of drying of the substrate, the at least two process gas streams are guided to the infrared emitter before they act on the substrate, and an exhaust air stream is spatially assigned to each process gas stream.
