Abstract
An IR source may also include an electrically conductive layer defining a back contact. The IR source may also include a first dielectric layer over the electrically conductive layer, a transparent electrically conductive layer over the first dielectric layer, and a second dielectric layer over the transparent electrically conductive layer. The IR source may include a graphene layer over the second dielectric layer and having a perforated pattern, a protective layer over the graphene layer, and first and second electrically conductive contacts coupled to the graphene layer. The graphene layer may be configured to emit IR radiation when a voltage signal is applied between the first and second electrically conductive contacts.
