    International audienceIncandescent filaments and membranes are often used as infrared sources despite their low efficiency, broad angular emission, and lack of spectral selectivity. Here, we introduce a metasurface to control simultaneously the spectrum and the directivity of blackbody radiation. The plasmonic metasurface operates reliably at 600 °C with an emissivity higher than 0.85 in a narrow frequency band and in a narrow solid angle. This emitter paves the way for the development of compact, efficient, and cheap IR sources and gas detection systems

    International audienceWe introduce thermal metallo-dielectric metasurfaces as mid IR sources. The emitter is a lossy metal. The spectral and angular emission is controlled using a periodic array of high refractive dielectric resonators. We introduce a design that allows to control independently the emission bandwidth and the angular aperture while ensuring a large emissivity. To validate the concept, we fabricated and characterized a metasurface, showing a good agreement with the theory
