Abstract

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 polaritons. We review the origin of this phenomenon. We analyze the influence of the microstructure and temperature on the coherence properties and show how to engineer thermoradiative properties of surfaces. We report the design of a quasi-isotropic source and a very directional source of thermal light. We also report a measurement of the transverse coherence length of a thermal source of light.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
