Claim Text:
1. A system for non-contact injection of radiant energy into a target in an irradiation zone, the system comprising; an array of semi-conductor based narrowband radiation emitting device elements, the array being operative to emit radiation at a narrow wavelength band of radiant heat output which matches a desired absorptive characteristic of the target; the narrowband radiation emitting devices being mounted surface emitting laser diode devices; the array being mounted to a mounting entity comprising at least one of a circuit board and a cooling substrate such that the central axis of an irradiation pattern from the at least one narrowband radiation emitting devices is directed generally orthogonally relative to the largest plane of the mounting entity; the mounting arrangement configured to position the array such that irradiation therefrom is directed to the target in the irradiation zone and such that relative geometrical locations of the surface emitting laser diode devices are determined with consideration of the irradiation output pattern of the combination of the devices to provide irradiation of the target; and a system operative to supply electrical current to the at least one narrowband radiation emitting device.
