In this talk, I will explore the dynamic intersection of heat transfer and optics, a century-old but surprisingly underexplored domain until recent times. Historically, this field has been associated with the study of far-field blackbody thermal radiation, tracing back to the seminal works of Wien and Planck. [Read More…]
