Claim 8:
9. A system, comprising:
a modulatable infrared emitter comprising:
a heating element;
a planar base element made of a conductive material;
a dielectric interlayer;
a planar cover element made of a conductive material; and
an actuator,
wherein the cover element is a structured metamaterial with periodically arranged unit cells and the actuator is configured for relative movement of the cover element and the base element between a first and second position in order to modulate the intensity of the emission of the infrared emitter;
a control device,
wherein
the control device is configured for regulating the actuator for a relative movement of the cover element and the base element between a first and second position in order to modulate the intensity of the emission of the infrared emitter,
wherein the control device is configured to regulate the actuator for an oscillating relative movement of the cover element and the base element between a first and a second position.
