Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a modulatable infrared emitter comprising an aperture structure, a structured micro-heating element, and an actuator, wherein the aperture structure and the structured micro-heating element are movable relative to each other in parallel planes by means of the actuator to modulate the intensity of emitted infrared radiation. The invention further relates to methods of manufacturing the infrared emitter, a method of modulating emission of infrared radiation using the infrared emitter, and preferred uses of the infrared emitter. In further aspects the invention relates to a system comprising the infrared emitter and a control device for regulating the actuator.
