| Summary: | The high saturation current density and ultrafast heating modulation of graphene makes it a competitive candidate for future thermal emission source. However, the low emissivity and easy oxidation under high temperature in air limit graphene application in the spectral range from the visible to near infrared. Here, we report a visible graphene thermal emitter based on the metal Fabry-Pérot (FP) cavity, which can greatly enhance the emissivity of graphene at wavelength around 637 nm and protect graphene from oxidation. We investigate the temperature characteristics of the emitter, and find the temperature of hot electrons in graphene is much higher than that of graphene lattice. Moreover, we also demonstrate the wavelength and intensity of graphene emission could be controlled by tuning the dielectric thickness between two gold layers. These results are helpful in the development of advanced graphene electro-thermal emission controlling application. |
