A Japanese research team has "seen the light" and is utilizing infrared wavelengths to generate electricity, an untapped energy source that accounts for nearly half of solar energy striking the Earth.

Using this method, IISC team were able to up-convert infrared light of wavelength around 1550nm to 622nm visible light. “This process is coherent – the properties of the input beam are ...

First, a beam of IR light from the source is split into two and passed through the reference and ... Each type of vibration occurs at a specific frequency, which depends on the mass of the atoms ...

Although near-infrared broadband light emitters have found increasingly wide utilization in these imaging applications, the requirement to simultaneously achieve both a high spectral bandwidth and ...

It became a little harder to measure the frequency of the light ... were also able to achieve this effect over a range of infrared light around 1,000 times greater than what scientists had ...
