dabateman Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 This recent article is interesting. Taking visible > 430nm light and transforming it to 380-400nm wavelengths. Whats nice is the substance can tolerate oxygen and is relatively stable. https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2023/TC/D2TC04578H Link to comment
Andrea B. Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Well that is rather nifty! Correct me if I'm wrong, but this upconversion process requires a lot of input energy, yes? Do you think it is at all practical? (I could only skim-read this article because almost all of it is out of my range of ((so-called)) expertise. La!! ) Link to comment
dabateman Posted February 4, 2023 Author Share Posted February 4, 2023 @Andrea B., No input energy as far as I can tell for this technology. The end use case is a film on top of solar panels to increase their efficiency. Link to comment
