Abstract
We show that a photonic crystal film can emit coherent thermal radiation. We demonstrate the key role of leaky waves existing at the air-photonic crystal interface. The frequency and direction of emission depend on the lattice parameters. This paves the way towards the design of coherent infrared antennas.Year: 2006 PMID： 16605906 DOI： 10.1103/PhysRevLett.96.123903
