1. A multi-mode heat transfer system comprising:
an emitter device comprising:
an inner core surrounded by an outer core having a thickness and an outer surface, and
a composite material pattern extending through at least a portion of the outer surface and at least a portion of the thickness of the outer core and is thermally coupled to the inner core,
wherein the composite material pattern focuses a heat from the inner core to an object other than the emitter device.
