I don't think so. However, sure. Maybe the band heater that Rossi
uses is actually an IR source.
However, I'm not willing to base anything on anything from Rossi,
until and unless it is independently confirmed. Thanks for the idea, though.

If you are not concerned with a narrow broad band, you could use a
blackbody emission. According to Wien's displacement law, 14.8THz to 22.5THz,
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wien%27s_displacement_law#Frequency-dependent_formulation>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wien%27s_displacement_law#Frequency-dependent_formulation
gives 251K to 387K.
So, a resistive heater would give you the upper band and for the
lower band, you'd need a Terahertz source:
