[OWPT10-03] Improving Efficiency Factors for Laser Power Beaming

*Tom Nugent, Jr.¹, Jonathon Gort¹, Drew Cardwell¹ (1. PowerLight Technologies)

We analyze losses in various components of a typical laser-power beaming system, compare them with theoretical limits, and present a path to 30% wall-plug efficiency, along with justification for believing the goal is achievable.
