We show that under proper conditions thin films structures behave like thermal sources that are able to emit radiation in well defined directions over a broad spectral band for both polarization states of light. This effect results from the quantization of modes inside the structure as in a Fabry-Perot resonator. A theoretical demonstration of this effect is given using the matrix transfer method. This result is similar to the best efficient reported results with gratings but using a completely different physical principle [J. J. Greffet et al., Nature 416, 61 (2002)].
