Publication number: 20180045861Abstract: IR emission devices comprising an array of polaritonic IR emitters arranged on a substrate, where the emitters are coupled to a heater configured to provide heat to one or more of the emitters. When the emitters are heated, they produce an infrared emission that can be polarized and whose spectral emission range, emission wavelength, and/or emission linewidth can be tuned by the polaritonic material used to form the elements of the array and/or by the size and/or shape of the emitters. The IR emission can be modulated by the induction of a strain into a ferroelectric, a change in the crystalline phase of a phase change material and/or by quickly applying and dissipating heat applied to the polaritonic nanostructure. The IR emission can be designed to be hidden in the thermal background so that it can be observed only under the appropriate filtering and/or demodulation conditions.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2017Publication date: February 15, 2018Applicant: The Government of the United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Joshua D. Caldwell, Virginia D. Wheeler, Marc Currie, Igor Vurgaftman, Jon-paul Maria
