Abstract

An emitter for emitting electromagnetic radiation includes a first region for thermally generating electromagnetic radiation, wherein the first region includes a first photonic crystal of the type having a first periodical structure with first holes having a first dimension and being at a first periodicity, so as to define a first dimension-to-periodicity ratio; and a second region for filtering the electromagnetic radiation generated in the first region, wherein the second region includes a second photonic crystal of the type having a second periodical structure with second holes having a second dimension and being at a second periodicity, so as to define a second dimension-to-periodicity ratio, wherein the second dimension-to-periodicity ratio is different from the first dimension-to-periodicity ratio.
