ABSTRACT
A polarized light source covering a wide wavelength range is required in applications across diverse fields, including optical communication, photonics, spectroscopy, and imaging. For practical applications, high degrees of polarization and thermal performance are needed to ensure the stability of the radiation intensity and low energy consumption. Here, we achieved efficient emission of highly polarized and broadband thermal radiation from a suspended aligned carbon nanotube film. The anisotropic nature of the film, combined with the suspension, led to a high degree of linear polarization (∼0.9) and great thermal performance. Furthermore, we performed time-resolved measurements of thermal emission from the film, revealing a fast time response of approximately a few microseconds. We also obtained visible light emission from the device and analyzed the film's mechanical breakdown behavior to improve the emission intensity. Finally, we demonstrated that suspended devices with a constriction geometry can enhance the heating performance. These results show that carbon nanotube film-based devices, as electrically driven thermal emitters of polarized radiation, can play an important role for future development in optoelectronics and spectroscopy.
