Background
Along with the development of science and technology, unmanned aerial vehicle walks into civilian field gradually, but the short disadvantage of unmanned aerial vehicle duration also exposes thereupon, if increase battery capacity, then can increase unmanned aerial vehicle's load, this has restricted unmanned aerial vehicle's flexibility. If can continuously charge at unmanned aerial vehicle flight in-process, the time of endurance will have and promote by a wide margin, and unmanned aerial vehicle is solar power unmanned aerial vehicle during the long voyage in high altitude that has the most development prospect at present. But due to the instability of solar irradiation, the endurance time of the solar power unmanned aerial vehicle is limited. For further prolonging the endurance time of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the adoption of laser to replace sunlight to carry out wireless remote charging on the unmanned aerial vehicle is a new scheme.
Although the existing laser charging device is applied to remote wireless charging and dynamic tracking to a certain extent, and a certain effect is achieved, if the stable operation of the laser wireless charging is really realized, some problems still exist, and the problems are mainly reflected as follows:

3) Low photoelectric conversion efficiency
Adopt traditional monocrystalline silicon, its conversion efficiency is less than 15%, if charge for unmanned aerial vehicle, the solar panel of small size is difficult to reach unmanned aerial vehicle's power supply demand, if increase the area, then can produce unnecessary additional influence to unmanned aerial vehicle's flight performance. To the problem that photoelectric conversion efficiency is low that can't solve, ordinary monocrystalline silicon photovoltaic cell has a common fault, that is conversion efficiency is low excessively, leads to photovoltaic cell output to be not enough to maintain unmanned aerial vehicle flight, but if increase unmanned aerial vehicle's photovoltaic board photic area, then can influence unmanned aerial vehicle's flight performance.
