This invention relates to devices that can controllably vary the properties of graphene with respect to different wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation and particularly its optical properties. The electronically variable optical surfaces of the invention comprise graphene layers with intercalated metal (e.g. lithium) ions. The cell comprises an Li-NMC anode as ion source, an ionic liquid electrolyte, and an multilayer graphene cathode.

A hybrid optical filter includes a plurality of film layers laminated to one another. This renders the filter flexible enough to be bendable and to implement a combination of at least two different wavelength-dependent optical filtering properties in a single hybrid optical filter. Two or more of the optical filtering properties may be caused by interference-based blocking of different ranges of wavelengths of light. Additionally or alternatively, at least one of the optical filtering properties may be an absorptive blocking of a first range of wavelengths of light and at least another one of the optical filtering properties is an interference-based blocking of a second range of wavelengths of light. The first range of wavelengths and the second range of wavelengths may overlap to provide for customized ranges of blocked wavelengths.

Passive radiative cooling structures and apparatus manufactured with such cooling structures conserve energy needs. A flexible film transparent to visible light incorporates particles at a volume percentage larger than 25% so as to absorb and emit infrared radiation at wavelengths where Earth's atmosphere is transparent. Another film transparent to visible light is thin and flexible and configured to absorb and emit infrared radiation at wavelengths where Earth's atmosphere is transparent, wherein etchings or depositions are present on one or both surfaces. A high efficiency cooling structure has an emissive layer sandwiched between a waveguide layer and a thermal conductive layer. A solar cell panel is covered by a transparent passive radiative cooling film. A container housing an active cooling unit incorporates passive radiative cooling structures on one or more exterior surfaces.

A sensor system comprises a LiDAR unit having an emitter for laser light having a wavelength of 900 nm to 1600 nm and a receiver for light over a wavelength range which is between 800 nm and 1600 nm and at least partly below the operating wavelength of the LiDAR sensor and a cover having a substrate layer made of thermoplastic material which is arranged such that IR light emitted by the LiDAR unit and received by the LiDAR unit passes through the cover.
