Within this year, we have conducted the optimization, simulation, fabrication, and experiment processes. First, we optimized the structure by adjusting the DBR layer number and the DBR material, for a fully developed optical Tamm state sustained within the structure. As a result, through simulation, we demonstrated a pronounced resonance peak in emittance spectrum with a quality factor (Q-factor) as large as 1908 . Ge was used, not only as a material of the DBR, but also for wavelength tunability taking advantage of its thermo-optic effect. The temperature sensitive Ge layer was designed at the position sustaining the maximum electric field, in order to make the index change in Ge maximally influence the optical behavior of the whole structure. Then, the device has been fabricated using RF sputtering. To reduce its internal stress, we also annealed the sample after deposition. The emittance measurement was carried out at temperatures up to 150 C. Upon heating, sharp peak is observed in the emittance spectrum with a large Q-factor around 780.

在这一年中，我们进行了优化，模拟，制造和实验过程。首先，我们通过调整DBR层数和DBR材料来优化结构，以在结构内维持充分发展的光学Tamm状态。其结果是，通过模拟，我们证明了一个明显的共振峰的发射光谱的品质因数（Q因子）高达1908。Ge不仅用作DBR的材料，而且还用于利用其热光效应的波长可调谐性。温度敏感Ge层被设计在维持最大电场的位置，以使Ge的折射率变化最大程度地影响整个结构的光学行为。然后，该设备已被制造使用RF溅射。为了降低其内应力，我们还在沉积后对样品进行退火。发射度测量在高达150 ℃的温度下进行。在加热时，在发射光谱中观察到尖锐的峰，具有约780的大Q因子。
