Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Is Optical Rectenna A rectenna that functions with either visible or infrared light is referred to as an optical rectenna. The transformation of electromagnetic waves into direct current electricity is accomplished using a rectenna, which is a circuit that consists of both an antenna and a diode. An optical rectenna would function in the same manner as a radio or microwave rectenna, but it would convert infrared or visible light into electricity instead of radio waves or microwaves. Rectennas have been in use for a long time.
