The authors address several aspects of the optical power transmission concept: the modeling of monochromatic conversion efficiency versus matched bandgap of a photovoltaic (PV) cell, parameterized as a function of illumination intensity; the selection criteria of the suitable semiconductors which are expected to have the highest PV conversion efficiency for the various applications; laboratory experimental study using an (Al,Ga)As laser beam transmitted through an optical fiber: a GaAs-based PV cell, designed for being set up at the optical fiber extremity, has been grown by MOVPE and has demonstrated an efficiency of 52.8% under 14-W/cm2 illumination. Several future applications, concerning transmission of optical power in space and from space, or through optical fiber in terrestrial utilizations, are discussed
