“…Examples of designing photodiodes for energy harvesting purposes, can be found in [11,12]. A BPW34 photodiode is used, which is a PIN photodiode; an undoped, intrinsic region of silicon separates the P from the N layers, offering greater quantum efficiency compared to conventional photodiodes and higher response speeds.…”

Abstract:This work studies the performance of two methods for providing power to an ultra-low power, ambient backscatter tag, omitting the need for any battery. RF energy harvesting from a dedicated source and energy harvesting from ambient light using a single photodiode are compared. Extensive measurement results from tests conducted under real world conditions are offered for both harvesting methods. It is concluded that for a total cost of under 7 Euros the need for a battery can be eliminated, by using a single photodiode element along with a suitable boost converter. The ultra-low power character of the utilized tag enables the use of multiple harvesting methods and paves the way towards truly battery-less wireless sensor systems.

A CMOS image sensor with reconfigurable resolution for energy harvesting applications

Abstract-In this paper, we propose a CMOS image sensor with reconfigurable resolution for energy harvesting applications such as video sensor networks. Depending on the available energy, the spatial resolution of the imager can be adaptively reconfigured to save energy for other units on the sensor node. In contrast to early attempts of energy harvesting image sensor, we propose an asynchronous sensor in which the photodetector itself within the pixel can be used as an energy harvesting device, so that the total available energy will be increased. Low power operation is achieved since the time-to-first spike (TFS) pixel only fires once per frame. Utilizing address-event-representation, the imager can make efficient use of the output bandwidth. System architecture and operation are discussed together with the simulation results. Measurement results for a test structure fabricated in standard 0.35µm CMOS process are also provided. A system model is developed to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
