    Undergrad Can yellow photons be shifted to shorter wavelengths?

    Quantum computing needs exactly that, replacing the ALU with optical elements

    Undergrad Can yellow photons be shifted to shorter wavelengths?

    I had a couple talks with some leaders in the advancement in quantum computing yes. I am just being curious, and my original question is incredibly related i believe.

    Undergrad Can yellow photons be shifted to shorter wavelengths?

    theoretically you could change the wavelength of light that isn't picked up by photovoltaic into range, and then to ensure that even on low contact periods energy is still collected, you could change longer wavelength light into ultraviolet light and raise the efficiency of the energy collected...

    What % of light does a photovoltaic transfer into energy? 20%?

    Undergrad Can yellow photons be shifted to shorter wavelengths?

    1st question: Units just represent % of the light that comes from source. 100% of the light from source is received after dispersion, 100% of ultraviolet range remains due to no change in wave, 5% of manipulated light emits higher frequency marriage of the 2 sources back together 105%...

    Undergrad Can yellow photons be shifted to shorter wavelengths?

    Ok, understood. So, if you had say 1200, 1100, 1000, 900, 800, 700, 600 respectively in wavelengths of light i wish to capture from a source that emits also 1300, 1400, ... on down. collectively they equal 700 units (100 per wavelength) that i wish to focus on. Lets say i disperse the light...

    Undergrad Can yellow photons be shifted to shorter wavelengths?

    Jon, Actually I am pondering many methods of trying to slightly change the frequency of an isolated wavelength of light by using either magnetism and medium together to effect it and then marry it back to the light it was isolated from, thus intensifying certain frequencies. In this effect, i...

    Undergrad Can yellow photons be shifted to shorter wavelengths?

    Sorry, I am mixing up my forums here. I asked the same question in another setting and i got an answer related to taking lower frequency light to split its frequency in half and shrink the wavelength of the photons which lead me on another path that wasnt listed here in this forum. I started...

    How do you guys explain what we have been doing here then? http://phys.org/news/2015-05-team-big-faster.html

    Undergrad Can yellow photons be shifted to shorter wavelengths?

    Haha, after reading this: http://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/66377/what-is-the-xy-problem You might be right. 2-fold: 1. I want to explore possible creation of a basic Arithmetic Logic Unit for a CPU inspired design, deconstructed of course. By isolating sections of the electromagnetic...

    Undergrad Can yellow photons be shifted to shorter wavelengths?

    Definitely. So, of the desired frequency interval that i choose, will there be a loss of energy within that frequency or will that frequency remain unchanged? Also, is there a way to filter the desired frequency WITHOUT dispersing the rest of the electromagnetic spectrum? In the end, i would...

    Undergrad Can yellow photons be shifted to shorter wavelengths?

    It appears that the "acousto-optic modulators" use radio frequencies and sound waves, so I am guessing that there will be loss of energy in this scenario? Is there any way to use a material to physically distort red light (650 nm) to be 651nm?, possibly by speeding up its wavelength through a...

    Undergrad Can yellow photons be shifted to shorter wavelengths?

    Can you please explain how it would be possible using this and if any energy is lost in the process? Thank you
