Abstract

We investigate the use of metamaterial surfaces in order to tailor the emission of infrared radiation. Multiple metamaterial sublattices permit broadband control. We ï¬nd excellent agreement between the emissivity and absorptivity of metamaterial surfaces – as predicted by Kirchhoff’s law of thermal radiation.
