A microscale-structured surface consisting of heavily doped silicon rectangle grating and slotted silver layer is studied for omnidirectional narrowband emitter. Numerical simulation is implemented to obtain spectral emittance in mid-infrared region (6–16 μm) for the transverse magnetic incidence by using the rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA) method. The effects of structural parameters and incident angle on its spectral emittance are investigated. In virtue of the microcavity effect, an omnidirectional narrowband emitter is proposed. By selecting a group of structural parameters, its peak emittance reaches as high as 0.998, and the peak width Δλ/λ of the emittance peak is as narrow as 0.03 at the specified wavelength. The results reveal that our proposed structured surface has the nice spectral features of angular uniformity and wavelength-selective characteristic, which can be applied to design novel narrowband thermal emitters and detectors in the infrared region.
