Abstract
We fabricate and demonstrate a thermal-radiation far-infared light source with enhanced thermal radiation efficiency, particularly within the crucial 8--14 μm wavelength range, which is vital for various applications. The device utilizes a metallic nanotube array (MeNTA) meticulously fabricated on a silicon wafer using stainless-steel material through sputter deposition. The simulation with Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) approach reveals significant alterations to the blackbodyradiated far-infrared spectrum. Experimental validation via Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) measurements confirms a pronounced wavelength filtering effect, primarily centered at 10.2 μm. The device incorporating stainless steel MeNTA exhibits 1.4 times improvement in luminous efficiency, reaching 7.45 × 10
