Zusammenfassung:Articles for emitting infrared energy comprising a nanostructured member including a plurality of nanotubes, the member being configured to emit infrared energy when an electrical current is applied; a reflecting member configured to direct at least a portion of the emitted infrared energy in a desired direction for heating a remotely-situated target, and optionally a spacer situated between the nanostructured member and the reflecting member to maintain a predetermined spacing there between, the predetermined spacing selected to minimize destructive interference between the infrared energy emitted by the nanostructured member and the infrared energy reflected by the reflecting member. In alternative embodiments, a carbonaceous member may be substituted for the nanostructured member.
