Abstract
Thermal energy is deposited within the body of an infrared transparent material. The thermal energy heats a radiating material which is opaque and strongly emitting over infrared wavelengths. An infrared image is then radiated from the radiating material. The thermal energy is deposited within the infrared transparent material preferably by providing a reticulated surface and scanning across an exposed portion of the thermal conductor with an electron beam or a laser.
