For a long time, it is believed that the light by light scattering is described properly by the Lagrangian density obtained by Heisenberg and Euler. Here, we present a new calculation which is based on the modern field theory technique. It is found that the light-light scattering is completely different from the old expression.

Controlling Light Harvesting with Light [PDF]
When exposed to intense sunlight, all organisms performing oxygenic photosynthesis implement various photoprotective strategies to prevent potentially lethal photodamage. The rapidly responding photoprotective mechanisms, occurring in the light-harvesting pigment-protein antennae, take effect within tens of seconds, while the dramatic and potentially ...

The gravitational interaction of light is analyzed considering its dual characteristic nature, i.e., as an (electromagnetic) wave or as a particle (photon). Considered as an electromagnetic wave, the light can be source of gravitational waves belonging to the larger class of exact solutions of Einstein field equations which are invariant for a non ...

Light-Emitting Diodes in the Solid-State Lighting Systems [PDF]
Red and green light-emitting diodes (LEDs) had been produced for several decades before blue emitting diodes, suitable for lighting applications, were widely available. Today, we have the possibility of combining the three fundamental colours to have a bright white light. And therefore, a new form of lighting, the solid-state lighting, has now become a

Contrefaire l’art ou contrefaire la nature : l’analogie artistique pour la restauration écologique
Andrew Light examines the debates on restoration ecology between Robert Elliot and Eric Katz. Rather than taking on their strong metaphysical distinction between nature and culture, as some critics do, he assumes it is true and then argues that it does ...

Light-matter quantum dynamics of complex laser-driven systems [PDF]
We propose a novel general approximation to transform and simplify the description of a complex fully-quantized system describing the interacting light and matter. The method has some similarities to the time-dependent Born-Oppenheimer approach: we consider a quantum description of light rather than of nuclei and follow a similar separation procedure ...

Impact of mechanical disturbances to the placement of reference light in Fourier transform interferometers [PDF]
Fourier transform interferometers usually need a dedicated reference light to precisely track optical path difference changes. There are a few different ways to incorporate the reference light into the optical system. This paper conducted experiments to give a test of how different ways of incorporating reference light are affected by mechanical ...
