Regimes of atomic diffraction: Raman versus Bragg diffraction in retroreflective geometries [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
We provide a comprehensive study of atomic Raman and Bragg diffraction when coupling to a pair of counterpropagating light gratings (double diffraction) or to a single one (single diffraction) and discuss the transition from one case to the other in a ...

Canopy light distribution effects on light use efficiency in wheat and its mechanism

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Optimizing canopy light distribution (CLD) has manifested improved light utility and yield without modifying other inputs. Nonetheless, molecular mechanisms working at cellular and organelle level remain to be elucidated.

Effect of Supplementary Lighting Duration on Growth and Activity of Antioxidant Enzymes in Grafted Watermelon Seedlings

open access: yesAgronomy, 2020
Insufficient exposure to light in the winter may result in a longer production periods and lower quality of seedlings in greenhouses for plug growers. Supplementary artificial lighting to plug seedlings may be one solution to this problem.

Diurnal and Seasonal Variations of Photosynthetic Energy Conversion Efficiency of Field Grown Wheat

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Improving canopy photosynthetic light use efficiency and energy conversion efficiency (εc) is a major option to increase crop yield potential. However, so far, the diurnal and seasonal variations of canopy light use efficiency (LUE) and εc are largely ...

High-Efficiency Visible Light Manipulation Using Dielectric Metasurfaces [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2019
AbstractThe development of a miniaturised device that provides efficient beam manipulation with high transmittance is extremely desirable for the broad range of applications including holography, metalens, and imaging. Recently, the potential of dielectric metasurfaces has been unleashed to efficiently manipulate the beam with full 2π-phase control by ...

Enhanced coupling of light use efficiency and water use efficiency in arid and semi‐arid environments

open access: yesEcohydrology, 2021
Both light use efficiency (LUE) and water use efficiency (WUE) play essential roles in ecosystem production. The extent to which ecosystem production is affected by the coupling between LUE and WUE remains unclear.

Interrelationships between water use efficiency and light use efficiency in four row crop canopies

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences & Environment, 2020
Quantitative evidence of light use efficiency (LUE) controls on water use efficiency (WUE) is lacking, especially comparatively across row crops. Field research experiments (2016–2018) were set up for maize (Zea mays L.), soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.],

High Efficiency Photon Counting Using Stored Light [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2002
Single-photon detection and photon counting play a central role in a large number of quantum communication and computation protocols. While the efficiency of state-of-the-art photo-detectors is well below the desired limits, quantum state measurements in trapped ions can be carried out with efficiencies approaching 100%.

Cell sorting using efficient light shaping approaches [PDF]

open access: yesSPIE Proceedings, 2016
Early detection of diseases can save lives. Hence, there is emphasis in sorting rare disease-indicating cells within small dilute quantities such as in the confines of lab-on-a-chip devices. In our work, we use optical forces to isolate red blood cells detected by machine vision.

Supplemental Far-Red Light Stimulates Lettuce Growth: Disentangling Morphological and Physiological Effects

open access: yesPlants, 2021
Light-emitting diodes allow for the application of specific wavelengths of light to induce various morphological and physiological responses. In lettuce (Lactuca sativa), far-red light (700–800 nm) is integral to initiating shade responses which can ...
