We review in this article the influence of surface waves on the thermally excited
electromagnetic field. We study in particular the field emitted at subwavelength distances of …

Thermophotovoltaics (TPV) is concerned with the application of photovoltaic diodes to
harvest electricity from thermal radiation. This is achieved through the use of appropriately …

The structure functions g1p and g1n have been measured over the range 0.014< x< 0.9 and
1< Q2< 40 GeV2 using deep-inelastic scattering of 48 GeV longitudinally polarized electrons …

In this paper we present a vertical-cavity enhanced resonant thermal emitter—a highly
directional, narrow-band, tunable, partially coherent thermal source. This device enhances …

Spectral control of the emissivity of surfaces is essential in applications such as solar
thermal and thermophotovoltaic energy conversion in order to achieve the highest …

A two-dimensional array of a microcavity with a high aspect ratio is made on a Cr-coated Si
surface using the micromachining technology. The thermal emission spectra whose …

Spectral emittance and thermal stability of two-dimensional W gratings are investigated to
obtain high-temperature resistive selective emitters. Numerical calculations based on …

The emission of light by a material at temperature T has been shown recently to be coherent
in the near field. These properties were attributed to the thermal excitation of surface …

The complex refractive index of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is determined in the
wavelength range between 2.5 μm and 16.7 μm. The parameters of a Drude-Lorentz …

The thermal emission of cross-slit silicon carbide grating is studied in the Restrahlen region
over all emission angles. We show experimentally that the thermal excitation of surface …
