The advent of nanophotonics enables the regulation thermal emission in momentum domain as well frequency domain. However, earlier attempts to steer a certain direction were restricted narrow spectrum or specific polarization, and thus their average (8-14 μm) emissivity (εav) angular selectivity nominal. Therefore, practical uses directional emitters have remained unclarified. Here, we report broadband, polarization-irrelevant, amplified from hollow microcavities covered with...

Abstract The increasing global temperatures have escalated the demand for indoor cooling, thus requiring energy-saving solutions. Traditional approaches often integrate metal layers in cooling windows to block near-infrared (NIR) sunlight, which, albeit effective, lack broad modulation of visible transmission and lead heat accumulation due sunlight absorption. Here, we address these limitations by developing using ZnS/MgF 2 multilayers, optimized through a binary optimization-based active...
