How Biophotonics Is Harnessing Light for Health And Science

Fifty or so years ago French physicist Pierre Aigrain coined the term photonics as a research field whose goal was to use light to perform functions that traditionally fell within the typical domain of electronics, such as telecommunications, and information processing. Or maybe it was John Campbell who, in a letter sent to Gotthard Gunther in 1954, wrote, “Incidentally, I’ve decided to invent a new science — photonics. It bears the same relationship to Optics that electronics does to electrical engineering. Photonics, like electronics, will deal with the individual units; optics and EE deal with the group phenomena! And note that you can do things with electronics that are impossible in electrical engineering!” Naming rights aside, the field of photonics began in earnest between 1958 and 1960 with the invention of the maser and the laser. The laser diode followed during the 1970s, optical fibers and the erbium-doped fiber amplifier after that, and, pretty soon, the telecommunications...

Glow Up: Synthesizing Cr³⁺-Doped Phosphors!

 Glow Up: Synthesizing Cr³⁺-Doped Phosphors! Introduction : Phosphor technology is lighting the way to incredible applications in areas like biological imaging, food safety detection, and even next-generation energy solutions. One promising development involves Cr³⁺-doped Na-ฮฒ"-Al₂O₃ phosphors, synthesized using a high-temperature solid-state method. In this post, we'll break down the fascinating science behind these unique materials and their exceptional thermal and luminescent properties. Understanding Cr³⁺-Doped Na-ฮฒ"-Al₂O₃ Phosphors Synthesis of Na-ฮฒ"-Al₂O₃ phosphors is a process that infuses Cr³⁺ ions within the material's lattice structure. Here, chromium ions enter the lattice in a trivalent state, taking up space within the Al³⁺ sites of the crystal. This occupancy isn't random; it’s carefully controlled to ensure that Cr³⁺ ions occupy specific positions within the matrix. This precise arrangement is crucial for regulating the material's luminesce...
