  • To experimentally demonstrate ultrabroadband, polarization-independent directional control of thermal radiation.
  • To develop a compact pixelated directional micro-emitter for tunable angular control.
  • To showcase applications such as a pixelated infrared display.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a pixelated directional micro-emitter design.
  • Employing non-imaging optical principles for angular control.
  • Fabricating and testing the micro-emitter for emissivity contrast and directional properties.

Main Results:

  • Achieved ultrabroadband, polarization-independent directional control of thermal radiation.
  • Demonstrated tunable angular control with significant emissivity contrast.
  • Successfully created a pixelated infrared display with direction-dependent visibility.

Conclusions:

  • The pixelated non-imaging micro-optics approach offers efficient directional thermal radiation control.
  • This technology has potential applications in radiative cooling, infrared spectroscopy, thermophotovoltaics, and thermal camouflaging.
