摘要
Coherence properties of the infrared thermal radiation from individual heated nanowires are investigated as a function of nanowire dimensions. Interfering the thermally induced radiation from a heated nanowire with its image in a nearby moveable mirror, well-defined fringes are observed. From the fringe visibility, the coherence length of the thermal emission radiation from the narrowest nanowires was estimated to be at least 20 mu m, which is much larger than expected from a classical blackbody radiator. Significant increases in coherence and emission efficiency are observed for smaller nanowires. (c) 2008 American Institute of Physics.
