Abstract

A dual-channel thermal emitter, which is composed of an InAs layer atop an aluminum grating backed with a continuous aluminum film, is proposed and studied. Two resonant absorption and emission peaks are achieved at different wavelengths, leading to the achievement of dual-channel strong nonreciprocal radiations at two different wavelengths for an applied magnetic field of 2 T when the angle of incidence is 17°. The physical origin is revealed through illustrating the electromagnetic field distributions at both resonances and also verified through impedance matching. In addition, the perfect nonreciprocity remains stable within a wide range of structure parameters, lowering the cost of manufacture. Moreover, the nonreciprocal radiations for different incident angles and different magnetic fields are also investigated in detail. The concept and conclusions proposed here will be interesting for the development of novel energy conversion and capture devices.
