A system for initiating a de-icing or de-fogging action on which ice has formed on a substrate material. The system includes (a) a substrate on which ice or fog has formed; and, (b) irradiation producing devices operative to emit irradiation that passes through at least some portion of the substrate so that a first portion of the ice or fog that is impacted by the irradiation is an interfacial portion nearest a surface of the substrate, the devices being proximate the substrate material, and selectively activated to effect irradiation, causing melting of at least some ice nearest the surface of the substrate. The substrate has an absorption coefficient lower than 15 m−1 in the wavelength range from 750 to 1650 nm.
