Electromagnetic radiation frequency optimizing device and method
View Patent ↗The invention relates to a device, system, and method for optimizing and altering electromagnetic frequency using Doppler shifts of electromagnetic radiation, and, in particular, optimizing frequency for application to photovoltaic devices and the like. The device comprises a crystal positioned in a channel undergoing a vibration, wherein an interaction between an incoming electromagnetic radiation and the vibration of the crystal optimizes a frequency of electromagnetic radiation. Also, a method comprising providing a channel, at least two parallel walls having an reflective surface; separating an incoming electromagnetic radiation into component frequencies; vibrating at least two parallel walls, wherein parallel walls contain at least one crystal capable of vibration; directing incoming electromagnetic radiation toward at least two parallel walls, wherein contact between incoming electromagnetic radiation and vibration of at least one crystal alters a frequency of electromagnetic radiation toward said optimal frequency.
1. A method of optimizing electromagnetic radiation comprising:
providing a channel having a first end, a separator positioned proximate said first end, a second end, a focusing member positioned proximate said second end, at least two parallel walls each having a reflective surface and at least one absorption area located on said reflective surface, wherein said at least two side walls connect said first end and said second end;
vibrating said at least two walls, wherein said walls contain at least one crystal capable of vibration;
catching a portion of the electromagnetic radiation in said at least one absorption area to cause said vibration; and
directing said incoming electromagnetic radiation toward said at least two parallel walls, wherein contact between said incoming electromagnetic radiation and said vibration of said at least one crystal alters a frequency of said electromagnetic radiation toward said optimal frequency.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
obtaining an optimal frequency relative to a usable frequency of a target;
dividing an incoming electromagnetic radiation into component frequencies; and
passing said optimal frequency through said second end.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
providing a pair of reflective surfaces between said at least two side walls;
extending a time and a distance in which said electromagnetic radiation travels within said channel; and
placing said target near said second end.

5. A method of optimizing electromagnetic radiation frequency to increase the efficiency of a photovoltaic cell comprising:
providing a crystal positioned in an opening having walls, the crystal undergoing a vibration, wherein an interaction between an incoming electromagnetic radiation and said vibration of said crystal optimizes a frequency of said electromagnetic radiation;
accepting said incoming electromagnetic radiation from a source through at least one of said first end and said second end;
catching a portion of said incoming electromagnetic radiation in a non-reflective area to cause said vibration;
changing the frequency of said electromagnetic radiation within said opening to achieve an optimal frequency of said electromagnetic radiation; and
placing a photovoltaic material a distance away from said opening.
6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:
obtaining an optimal frequency relative to a usable frequency of a target;
dividing an incoming electromagnetic radiation into component frequencies; and
passing said optimal frequency through said second end.
