Abstract

See full text

A thermal emitter is provided, including a periodic structure operating as a metamaterial on an optically thick substrate; the periodic structure thermally emitting at high temperatures in a specified narrow wavelength of a predetermined resonance, the metamaterial including a composite medium of natural materials. The emitter may be part of a thermophotovoltaic device. The thermal emitter may include a plurality of layered films, wherein the distance between each adjacent film is substantially less than the wavelength.
