1. A method for repairing an asphalt pavement, comprising: passing an emitter over a surface of a damaged asphalt pavement comprising aged asphalt, wherein the emitter comprises a birefringent material through which electromagnetic radiation generated by the emitter passes, wherein the emitter generates electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength of from about 2 microns to 1 millimeter, the radiation penetrating into the pavement to a depth of at least 2 inches, wherein a temperature differential throughout a top two inches of pavement is 100° F. or less, wherein a highest temperature in the top two inches of pavement does not exceed 300° F., and wherein a minimum temperature in the top two inches of pavement is at least 200° F. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the emitter produces electromagnetic radiation with a power density of from 0.47 to 2.33 W/cm2 or from 133 to 664 (ft·lbf/min)/in2. 3. The method of claim 1, further comprising, after passing an emitter over the surface of the damaged asphalt pavement, compacting the asphalt pavement, wherein a density of the compacted asphalt pavement is similar to that of virgin asphalt pavement. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein a wire is positioned between the high-density ceramic liner and the sheet of the micaceous material. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein the wire is embedded in a support. 6. The method of claim 4, wherein the wire is self-supporting. 7. The method of claim 4, wherein the wire is configured to emit electromagnetic radiation with a peak wavelength of about 2 micrometers, and wherein the wavelength is lengthened to 20 micrometers upon passing through the micaceous material. 8. The method of claim 4, wherein the wire is in a form selected from the group consisting of straight, coiled, and serpentine. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the birefringent material is a biaxial birefringent material. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein a temperature differential throughout a top two inches of pavement is 50° F. or less. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the radiation penetrating into the pavement to a depth of at least three inches, wherein a highest temperature in the top three inches of pavement does not exceed 275° F., and wherein a minimum temperature in the top three inches of pavement is at least 200° F. 12. The method of claim 1, wherein each emitter panel comprises a frame having a ceramic liner, wherein the birefringent material is a sheet of a micaceous material exhibiting biaxial birefringence. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the emitter comprises a hood having a cavity therein, wherein the frame is attached to reels on the outside of the hood, to permit adjustment of the at least one emitter panel within the cavity. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein the emitter panel is configured to be adjusted such that a distance of an emitter surface to a pavement surface is from a quarter of an inch to an inch. 15. The method of claim 12, wherein the emitter further comprises a power source configured to supply electrical power to the at least one emitter panel, wherein the power source is a portable generator. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein the portable generator is a diesel generator configured to deliver at least 250 kW. 17. The method of claim 12, wherein the damaged asphalt pavement is a standard road or highway traffic lane including an associated shoulder, and wherein the emitter is sized so as to irradiate the standard road or highway traffic lane including an associated shoulder. 18. The method of claim 12, wherein the damaged asphalt pavement is a two lane road, and wherein the emitter is sized so as to irradiate a full width of the two lane road. 19. The method of claim 12, wherein the emitter comprises a plurality of emitter panels, wherein each emitter panel is in a shape of a square or a rectangle having dimensions of about 12 inches by about 24 inches, and wherein the plurality of emitter panels are arranged in an array wherein each emitter panel abuts an adjacent emitter panel. 20. The method of claim 12, wherein the emitter comprises a 2×12 array of one foot square emitter panels. 21. The method of claim 12, wherein the emitter further comprises a tow rig configured to pull the emitter unit. 22. The method of claim 12, wherein the emitter further comprises a sheath of stainless steel configured to protect the micaceous material from being damaged. 23. The method of claim 12, wherein the emitter panel is configured to emit electromagnetic radiation at a wavelength of from about 2 microns to about 100 microns. 24. The method of claim 12, wherein the emitter panel is configured to emit electromagnetic radiation at a wavelength of from about 20 microns to about 100 microns.
