Abstract
The invention relates to an emitter of infrared radiation in band III as well as to a composite allowing the emission of such infrared radiation. The emitter includes an emission source having a composite on which a thin oxide layer is deposited. The oxide has an emissivity which is less than 0.2 for wavelengths of emitted radiation of less than 6 &mgr;m and greater than 0.8 for wavelengths of between 8 and 10 &mgr;m. The invention also includes a heating device which can heat the composite so that it emits infrared radiation in band III.
