Atmospheric windows play an important role in the field of infrared detection and radiative cooling. In this paper, the development of VO2-based metamaterial emitter brings broadband thermal-switching light to mid-infrared atmospheric windows. At room temperature, the emitter radiates light in both 3-5 mu m and 8-14 mu m atmospheric windows. At high temperature, the radiation peaks move out of the atmospheric windows and result a strong radiation at 5-8 mu m. The underlying mechanism relies on the relationship between VO2 metal-insulator transition (MIT) and resonant absorption modes coupling. Corresponding thermal imaging experiment exhibits two distinct phenomena. One is the observation of unchanged thermal radiation around MIT temperature. The other phenomenon regards the concealment of the emitter from Al background at specific temperatures. These two phenomena show potential application in infrared anti-detection.
