Identifying sources of light plays an important role in the development of many photonic technologies, such as lidar, remote sensing, and microscopy. Traditionally, identifying light sources as ...

The use of alternative light sources and ultra violet lighting has changed and improved drastically over the last few years. The concept, however, remains the same as the purpose of alternative light ...

With all the buzz about how the output spectrum of LED lighting can be varied for applications like street lighting, human-centric lighting, and horticultural lighting, the question occurs: how is the ...

The Advanced Light Source (ALS), a scientific user facility at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), has received federal approval to start construction on ...

Quartz Tungsten Halogen (QTH) lamps are proven visible and near infrared sources, thanks to their smooth spectral curve and stable output. They generate little ultraviolet radiation and do not exhibit ...

In materials science an X-ray source that is hard and bright can open the door to a wealth of detail. At Diamond Light Source X-ray beams with wavelengths of 0.1–0.2 nm outshine the Sun by a factor of ...
