(57) Abstract : Chemical reactors with re-radiating surfaces and associated systems and methods. A reactor in accordance with a particular embodiment includes a reactor vessel having a reaction zone, and a reactant supply coupled to the reactor vessel to di- rect a reactant (e.g., a hydrogen donor) into the reaction zone. The reactant has a peak absorption wavelength range over which it absorbs more energy than at non-peak wavelengths. The reactor further includes a re-radiation component positioned at the reaction zone to receive radiation over a first spectrum having a first peak wavelength range, and re-radiate the radiation into the reaction zone over a second spectrum having a second peak wavelength range different than the first, and closer than the first to the
