Abstract
Described herein is a device and a method for generating radiation, in particular pulsed radiation, specifically within the infrared spectral range. Also described herein is a computer program product which includes executable instructions for performing the method. The device for generating radiation includes at least one radiation emitting element, where the radiation emitting element is designated for generating radiation upon being heated by an electrical current; a mount, where the mount carries the at least one radiation emitting element, and where the mount or a portion thereof is movable; and a heat sink, where the heat sink is designated for cooling the mount and the at least one radiation emitting element being carried by the mount upon being touched by the mount. The device, the method, and the computer program product can be used in a spectroscopic application.
