Abstract

Metal/dielectric/metal cavity thermal emitters with hole array at top metal film arranged in short period exhibit high output intensities, narrow bandwidth cavity modes in the mid-infrared region. Short period hole arrays filter out redundant surface plasmons and coupling cavity modes by moving them to the wavebands where blackbody radiations are weak.
