摘要
A thermally excited IR source, using an electrically excited array of free-standing wires, has been fabricated by a combination of e-beam lithography and reactive ion etching. The emitted radiation shows a reduced spectral bandwidth, compared to conventional blackbody sources, and the wavelength for which the intensity is a maximum is determined by the pitch and not by the temperature of the wires. This behaviour is a result of the size scale of the wires, where the wire width and pitch are much smaller than the wavelengths of the IR radiation emissions.
