Abstract

We fabricate and demonstrate a thermal-radiation far-infared light source with enhanced thermal radiation efficiency, particularly within the crucial 8--14 μm wavelength range, which is vital for various applications. The device utilizes a metallic nanotube array (MeNTA) meticulously fabricated on a silicon wafer using stainless-steel material through sputter deposition. The simulation with Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) approach reveals significant alterations to the blackbodyradiated far-infrared spectrum. Experimental validation via Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) measurements confirms a pronounced wavelength filtering effect, primarily centered at 10.2 μm. The device incorporating stainless steel MeNTA exhibits 1.4 times improvement in luminous efficiency, reaching 7.45 × 10 ⁻³ , accompanied by a radiated power of 11.034 mW and 0.681 mW/mm ² radiated power per area. These outcomes suggest the potential for expanding the fabrication process with alternative geometries and periods to tailor specific infrared emissions, which enables suitable thermal emitters for biomedical applications.

金属纳米管阵列助力远红外热发射器性能提升

我们制造并演示了一种热辐射远红外光源，它具有更高的热辐射效率，尤其是在对各种应用至关重要的 8-14 μm 波长范围内。该装置利用不锈钢材料通过溅射沉积在硅晶片上精心制作的金属纳米管阵列（MeNTA）。利用有限差分时域（FDTD）方法进行的模拟显示，黑体辐射远红外光谱发生了显著变化。通过傅立叶变换红外（FTIR）测量进行的实验验证证实了明显的波长过滤效应，主要集中在 10.2 μm。采用不锈钢 MeNTA 的装置发光效率提高了 1.4 倍，达到 7.45 × 10-3，辐射功率为 11.034 mW，单位面积辐射功率为 0.681 mW/mm2。这些结果表明，利用其他几何形状和时期扩展制造工艺以定制特定红外辐射的潜力巨大，从而使热发射器适用于生物医学应用。
