Although the effective stealth of space vehicles is important, current camouflage designs are inadequate in meeting all application requirements. Here, a multilayer wavelength-selective emitter is demonstrated. It can realize visible light and dual-band mid-infrared camouflage with thermal control management in two application scenarios, with better effect and stronger radiation cooling capability, which can significantly improve the stealth and survivability of space vehicles in different environments. The selective emitter demonstrated in this paper has the advantages of simple structure, scalability, and ease of large-area fabrication, and has made a major breakthrough in driving multiband stealth technology from simulation research to physical verification and even practical application.
