Undergrad Curious question about light/photons
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.- JG Questions

Undergrad Curious question about light/photons
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...- JG Questions

Undergrad Curious question about light/photons
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%...- JG Questions

Undergrad Curious question about light/photons
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...- JG Questions

Undergrad Curious question about light/photons
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...- JG Questions

Undergrad Curious question about light/photons
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...- JG Questions

Undergrad Curious question about light/photons
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...- JG Questions

Undergrad Curious question about light/photons
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...- JG Questions

Undergrad Curious question about light/photons
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...- JG Questions
