Abstract
Disclosed herein is a system for facilitating harnessing terahertz electromagnetic waves for photovoltaically generating electrical energy. Accordingly, the system may include an electromagnetic wave generator configured for generating first electromagnetic waves having first wave energy. Further, the system may include a wave conversion element comprised of a 3D crystal material. Further, the wave conversion element may be configured for converting the first electromagnetic waves to second electromagnetic waves having second wave energy. Further, the second electromagnetic waves are in a second frequency range. Further, the system may include a photovoltaic device configured to operate in the second frequency range. Further, the photovoltaic device may be configured for harvesting the second wave energy of the second electromagnetic waves of the second frequency range. Further, the photovoltaic device may be configured for generating the electrical energy from the second wave energy based on the harvesting.
