Light conversion

Light conversion describes the process in which light is converted from an energy form into another. Electrical energy is most frequently converted into light energy, such as with incandescent lamps, LEDs or fluorescent tubes. Conversely, light energy can be converted into electrical energy, for example in solar modules that use photovoltaics to convert sunlight into electricity.

Another aspect of the light conversion is the change in the wavelength of light, e.g. B. by phosphorus in LEDs, the short -wave, blue light converted into longer, warm white light. These processes are essential for many technologies, from lighting systems to displays to energy -generating devices. Light conversion also plays a role in nature, for example in photosynthesis, where light energy is converted into chemical energy. The efficiency and control of this conversion is a key area in science and technology to develop sustainable and innovative solutions.
