Abstract
Conference Title: 2016 Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics (CLEO) Conference Start Date: 2016, June 5 Conference End Date: 2016, June 10 Conference Location: San Jose, CA, USA We proposed and experimentally demonstrated a mechanism to achieve spectrally-selective metallic emitters based on tunneling effect. This effect allows a simple flat metal film to achieve near-unity emissivity with controlled spectral selectivity for efficient heat-to-light energy conversion.
