Abstract:There is a positive photothermoelectric response for optically irradiated (670 nm laser, 3.5 mW) spiral-wound, electrically polarized palladium cathodes in very low electrical conductivity heavy water. An incremental photo-induced excess heat of ~89±16 mW results from a ~3 mW incident optical beam, but only in the presence of a functioning active loaded cathode. The power gain at high input power levels has a biphasic photothermoelectric response.
