Abstract: The present invention provides a thermal radiation light source that allows a wider range of material choices than those of conventional techniques, so that light having a desired peak wavelength can easily be obtained. A thermal radiation light source 10 includes a thermo-optical converter made of an optical structure in which a refractive index distribution is formed in a member 11 made of an intrinsic semiconductor so as to resonate with light of a shorter wavelength than a wavelength corresponding to a bandgap of the intrinsic semiconductor. When heat is externally supplied to the thermo-optical converter, light having a spectrum in a band of shorter wavelengths than a cutoff wavelength is produced by interband absorption in the intrinsic semiconductor, and light of a resonant wavelength λr in the wavelength band, the light causing resonance in the optical structure, is selectively intensified and emitted as thermal radiation light. In the present invention, an intrinsic semiconductor that provides a wide range of material choices is used, so that a thermal radiation light source that produces narrow-band light having a desired peak wavelength can easily be obtained.
