Abstract In the current scientific landscape, understanding of optical properties in mid‐infrared (mid‐IR) range (3–30 µm) is crucial simulations and models to explore potential materials for various applications. However, due challenges associated with mid‐IR characterization, accurate refractive index ( n ) extinction coefficient κ data are often lacking literature. This study addresses this gap by investigating spectra anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) nanostructures anodized under different conditions, using two distinct approaches: IR ellipsometry a theoretical model based on multilayer reflection effective medium. The results demonstrate strong agreement: anodizing conditions have significant influence AAO nanostructures.

Abstract Utilizing micro‐nano structures to achieve directional and spectral control of thermal radiation holds significant scientific importance. It may significantly benefit a broad range applications, including infrared light sources, detection, waste heat utilization thermophotovoltaics. However, existing emitters face challenges in realizing narrowband emissivity lack independent angular selectivity. This study develops simple but novel approach emitter design that enables directionality peak radiation. An angle‐selective filter selective are selected as the structural components, series different designed show advantage tunability. After optimization with NSGA‐II algorithm, is achieved, offering high only at given direction wavelength. seven layers demonstrates maximum 0.97, an width under 20°, below 0.025 µm, validated by angle‐resolved measurements. provides straightforward effective route for designing promising applications management.
