contents Recent advancements in nonreciprocal thermal emitters challenge the conventional Kirchhoff's law, which states that emissivity and absorptivity should be equal for a given direction, frequency, and polarization. These emitters can break Kirchhoff's law and enable unprecedented thermal photon control capabilities. However, current studies mainly focus on increasing the magnitude of the contrast between emissivity and absorptivity, with little attention paid to how the sign or bandwidth of the contrast may be controlled. In this work, we show such control ability can be achieved by coupling resonances that can provide opposite contrasts between emissivity and absorptivity.
