Compound Transforms IR into Broadband White Light
MARBURG, Germany, June 21, 2016 — A compound that can transform near-infrared (NIR) light into broadband white-light could offer a cheap, efficient means to produce visible light. The light is also exceedingly directional, a desirable quality for devices such as microscopes that require high spatial resolution, or for applications with high throughput, such as projection systems.
