Near-unity broadband omnidirectional emissivity via femtosecond laser surface processing

Surfaces with wide-angle high emissivity in the infrared spectrum are important for applications in radiative cooling, thermophotovoltaics, and spacecraft thermal management. Here, near perfect, broadband, omnidirectional emissivity is realized via scalable laser surface processing of aluminum.
