Abstract

We propose gold micro-grating structures with VO2 filled slots as suitable emitters to achieve enhanced far-field thermal rectification. We numerically calculate the rectification ratio for two different approaches: peak extinction and peak shift. In the peak extinction approach, a change in temperature switches the coupling between a grating surface plasmon mode and far field on and off. In the peak shift approach it causes a shift in its resonant wavelength. In both these approaches, we discuss the effect of tuning the extinction coefficient of metallic and insulating VO2.
