Abstract(in English) Narrow-bandwidth thermal emitters are desired for applications such as highly-efficient infrared light sources and thermophotovoltaic devices. In this report, we describe a procedure for designing single-mode very-narrowband thermal emitters based on absorption coefficient control by intersubband transition (ISB-T) in quantum wells (QWs) and optical resonance in two-dimensional photonic crystal (2D-PC) slabs. We position a single isolated mode of the PC within the absorption range of ISB-T, and precisely match the mode's radiation rate with its absorption rate. The optimized emitters show single-peak emission with a quality factor Q >100, an emissivity of ~0 9, and a radiation divergence cone of ^~20-. We also theoretically demonstrate that the required input power for one of our designed emitters to maintain a given peak intensity in the surface-normal direction is as little as 1/200 of that for the blackbody emitter.
