1. An infrared source, comprising:

  • an infrared element which provides infrared radiation at desired wavelengths when heated by an excitation means to a predetermined temperature range;

    an insulator coupled with said infrared element so as to reach a collaborative temperature range provided by the generated heat from said infrared element, wherein said insulator at said collaborative temperature range provides for one or more desired infrared emission spectral bands that co-add with the output emission of said infrared element so as to eliminate spectral deficiencies resulting from said infrared element reaching said collaborative temperature range; and

    wherein one or more walls of said insulator are configured as a conical interior that converges to an to an opening that defines an optical aperture of said source so as to enhance emission of the co-added said insulator and said infrared element optical spectral output and additionally match a field of view of a coupled spectrometer imaging element.
