Abstract
In this paper, a new idea on thermal radiation based THz source utilizing EM crystals (also known as electromagnetic band gap structures, or EBG) is introduced. Preliminary theoretical and experimental results are reported and give promising indications that carefully designed EM crystal thermal radiators may be useful in thermal imaging and identification applications and enable a new type of low cost and high performance THz source.
