An experiment similar to Letts-Cravens. http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/0957-4484/26/23/234002
Experimental observation of anomalous thermal radiation from a three-dimensional metallic photonic crystal Abstract We report some striking results on thermal radiation properties of a resonantly coupled cavity photonic crystal (PhC) at elevated temperatures (T = 400–900 K). We experimentally found that at resonant wavelengths, λ = 1.1, 1.64, 2.85 μm, the PhC emission is spectrally selective, quasi-coherent, directional, and shows significant deviation from Planck's blackbody law at equilibrium. The presence of non-equilibrium effects, driven by strong thermal excitation and cavity resonance, may be the major cause for our experimental observation. Sooner or later, science would stumble over some sort of LENR reaction. thermal radiation coming off this photonic crystal (PhC) is up to 50 times stronger than blackbody radiation at certain frequencies. That radiation is coherent, directional, and focused. This finding has the researchers puzzled. I speculated that the coupled cavities in this crystal form a polariton Bose condensate that emits hawking radiation at specific thermal frequencies. There also may be some overunity here: more energy out than in... Near infrared is resonant with the size of the optical cavity.
