Abstract
Performance of irreversible radiation is limited by the single polarization and large incident angles. Given potential applications of nonreciprocal thermal radiation, the implementation of irreversible radiation for both TE and TM polarizations at small angles is highly demanded. A solution that combines periodic silicon-based nanopore arrays with magneto-optical material (InAs) is proposed in this work. The results show that the absorptivity and emissivity of two polarizations are close to 98% with an incident angle of 1.5° and a high Q factor over 1680. By adjusting the applied magnetic field, the emissivity and transverse magneto-optical Kerr effect can be dynamically tuned. The validity of the calculation results is verified by the rigorous coupled-wave analysis and finite element method. Impedance matching theory and coupled mode theory are adopted to further analyze the physical origin. The proposed scheme and thermal radiator that allow nonreciprocal thermal radiation for both TE and TM polarizations at an extremely small incident angle offer valuable guidance to the development of dual-polarization nonreciprocal radiation devices.
