About

Daniel Raible is a researcher specializing in wireless power transmission, laser power beaming systems, and optical communications technologies, with much of his work conducted at NASA Glenn Research Center. He is perhaps best known for pioneering contributions to High Intensity Laser Power Beaming (HILPB), a technique enabling wireless power transmission for both space and terrestrial applications. His 2011 paper on optical frequency optimization of HILPB systems utilizing vertical multi-junction (VMJ) photovoltaic cells remains his most influential work, accumulating 26 citations and establishing key design principles for converting laser energy into usable electrical power across distances. Complementary work on HILPB system architecture further demonstrated practical hardware results, earning an additional 13 citations. Raible's research scope extends into advanced optical communications, reflected in a 2021 NASA overview paper highlighting cutting-edge technologies addressing the growing demand for higher data rates in space missions. More recently, he has explored precision-pointing mechanisms, including development and validation of the Canfield joint for deep space instrumentation. Across his career, Raible has consistently pushed the boundaries of how energy and information can be transmitted wirelessly, contributing meaningful engineering solutions to challenges facing next-generation space exploration and beyond.
