Abstract
An optoelectronic device having a self-defrosting/de-icing window configured to operate at an electromagnetic radiation frequency having metals that are optically transparent as a result of the wires having an effective plasma frequency that is equal to or lower than the electromagnetic frequency at which the device operates. The effective plasma frequency of the wire is lowered by configuring the path of the wire between the terminal ends to be meandering, serpentine, U-shaped and in other non-linear configurations. The metal wires are resistively heated.
