The semiconductor industry revolves around silicon (Si), but it exhibits poor light absorption in the near-infrared spectrum utilized in emerging photonic systems. In a recent study, researchers ...

This leads to a drastic increase in their manufacturing costs. Photon-trapping micro- and nano-sized holes in silicon (Si) make normally incident light bend by almost 90°, making it propagate ...

Formulated primarily as a coating for optical instruments in space, the material, which derives its properties from a special carbon nanotube formulation and structure, is for applications that ...

Scientists from University of Regensburg, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Moscow institute of Physics and Technology, and University of Kansas have discovered abnormally strong light ...

Ultraviolet (UV) light [“beyond violet,” the highest frequency of visible light] is a form of electromagnetic (EM) radiation, just below the visible light spectrum encompassing wavelengths ...

Absorption spectroscopy is an analytical chemistry tool that can determine if a particular substance is present in a sample by measuring the intensity of the light absorbed as a function of ...

Improving Light Absorption in a Perovskite/Si Tandem Solar Cell via Light Scattering and UV‐Down Shifting by a Mixture of SiO 2 Nanoparticles and Phosphors. Advanced Functional Materials, 2022 ...

A spectroscope: to measure the discrete spectral features of light sources such as the common compact fluorescent light bulb [a line spectrum]. Parts There are eight 3D-printable parts available for ...
