Licetus, 1640 (about the Bologna stone) 1.1 What Is Luminescence? The word luminescence, which comes from the Latin (lumen = light) was fi rst introduced as luminescenz by the physicist and science historian Eilhardt Wiede- mann in 1888, to describe “ all those phenomena of light which are not solely conditioned by the rise in temperature,” as opposed to incandescence. Lumines- cence is often considered as cold light whereas incandescence is hot light. Luminescence is more precisely defi ned as follows: spontaneous emission of radia- tion from an electronically excited species or from a vibrationally excited species not in thermal equilibrium with its environment. 1) The various types of lumines- cence are classifi ed according to the mode of excitation (see Table 1.1 ). Luminescent compounds can be of very different kinds: • Organic compounds : aromatic hydrocarbons (naphthalene, anthracene, phenan- threne, pyrene, perylene, porphyrins, phtalocyanins, etc.) and derivatives, dyes (fl uorescein, rhodamines, coumarins, oxazines), polyenes, diphenylpolyenes, some amino acids (tryptophan, tyrosine, phenylalanine), etc. + 3 + 3 + • Inorganic compounds : uranyl ion (UO 2 ), lanthanide ions (e.g., Eu , Tb ), doped glasses (e.g., with Nd, Mn, Ce, Sn, Cu, Ag), crystals (ZnS, CdS, ZnSe, CdSe, 3 + GaS, GaP, Al 2 O3 /Cr (ruby)), semiconductor nanocrystals (e.g., CdSe), metal clusters, carbon nanotubes and some fullerenes, etc. 1) Braslavsky , S. et al .

There are no bright lines and no dark lines in the spectrum. This is one of the most important spectra, a blackbody spectrum emitted by a hot object. The blackbody spectrum is a function of temperature, cooler objects emit redder light, hotter objects white or even bluish light. Fluorescent light The spectrum of a fluorescent light has bright lines and a continuous spectrum. The bright lines come from mercury gas inside the tube while the continuous spectrum comes from the phosphor coating lining the interior of the tube.

  • Photon Energy Upconversion Through Thermal Radiation with the Power Efficiency Reaching 16%
    ARTICLE Received 30 May 2014 | Accepted 27 Oct 2014 | Published 28 Nov 2014 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms6669 Photon energy upconversion through thermal radiation with the power efficiency reaching 16% Junxin Wang1,*, Tian Ming1,*,w, Zhao Jin1, Jianfang Wang1, Ling-Dong Sun2 & Chun-Hua Yan2 The efficiency of many solar energy conversion technologies is limited by their poor response to low-energy solar photons. One way for overcoming this limitation is to develop materials and methods that can efficiently convert low-energy photons into high-energy ones. Here we show that thermal radiation is an attractive route for photon energy upconversion, with efficiencies higher than those of state-of-the-art energy transfer upconversion under continuous wave laser excitation. A maximal power upconversion efficiency of 16% is 3 þ achieved on Yb -doped ZrO2. By examining various oxide samples doped with lanthanide or transition metal ions, we draw guidelines that materials with high melting points, low thermal conductivities and strong absorption to infrared light deliver high upconversion efficiencies. The feasibility of our upconversion approach is further demonstrated under concentrated sunlight excitation and continuous wave 976-nm laser excitation, where the upconverted white light is absorbed by Si solar cells to generate electricity and drive optical and electrical devices. 1 Department of Physics, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shatin, Hong Kong SAR, China. 2 State Key Laboratory of Rare Earth Materials Chemistry and Applications, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China. * These authors contributed equally to this work. w Present address: Research Laboratory of Electronics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139, USA.

  • Exploring Photoluminescence
    Name: Class: LUMINESCENCE Visual Quantum Mechanics It’s Cool Light! ACTIVITY 5 Exploring Photoluminescence Goal In the previous activity, we explored several types of luminescence and compared it with incandescence. In this activity, we will investigate luminescent materials that require light to emit light. These materials are called photoluminescent. In a dark room, open the black envelope labeled “A” assigned by your instructor that contains an object that has been placed in it overnight. Take the object out of the envelope. ? Does object “A” emit light? If it does, in the space provided below describe the emitted light. Turn on the lights and expose the object to the light. After a few seconds, turn off the lights. ? Does object “A” seem to emit light when the lights are on? ? Now, turn the light off again. Does light come from object “A” ? If it does, in the space provided below describe the characteristics of the emitted light. Photoluminescence, unlike the other types of luminescence, requires light in order to emit light. As a result, the chart used in the first activity to identify the different types of luminescence (Figure 1-3) needs to be expanded to include Figure 5-1 illustrated on the following page.

  • Study of Museum Lighting and Design
    STUDY OF MUSEUM LIGHTING AND DESIGN Approved: ____________________________ Dr. Heather C. Galloway Director, University Honors Program Approved: ____________________________ Dr. Hegde Department of Family Consumer Science Supervising Professor STUDY OF MUSEUM LIGHTING AND DESIGN HONORS THESIS Presented to the Honors Committee of Texas State University-San Marcos In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For Graduation in the University Honors Program By Elizabeth Gay Hunt San Marcos, Texas May 2009 STUDY OF MUSEUM LIGHTING AND DESIGN ABSTRACT A museum is a place to discover, explore and learn about the past, present and future of creativity, as well as history. Lighting plays a significant role in developing interaction between humans and museum artifacts in one defined space. " Museums are places where lighting design is critical to the overall experience”(Lowe,43, 2009). Lighting is essential for human interaction in a space. Technical illumination research lays a foundation to conduct analysis in a variety of museums. This research component is significant to understand the complexity and various facets of overall museum lighting design. This study evaluates both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of lighting design in four museums. Psychological, physiological and experiential components are observed in these museums’ environments to analyze lighting design within its exhibits. My observations and knowledge gained by studying these museums help influence and enhance the design of the Cedar Hill Museum of History. 3 DEDICATION This Honor Thesis is dedicated in memory of my mother, Carolyn T. Hunt. She instilled in me the idea that we live a short time on Earth. She often said, “We are given talents that we must give back to the community and help others.” The Cedar Hill Museum of History lighting design is a reflection of how she contributed to the community of Cedar Hill and helped mold the community into what is today.
