Sentences with phrase «absorption of a single photon»
New information about how light energy is changed into neural signals shows how an individual photoreceptor cell of the eye registers the absorption of a single photon, or quantum of light
https://www.scientificamerican.com/
Now consider a single molecule that is supposed to loose more rapidly its energy by collision after absorption of a single photon.
Not exact matches
We will pursue a hybrid approach, exploiting the strong single - and two - photon absorption possible in the gas - phase of rubidium atoms, together with integrated - photonics, to achieve strong interactions between photons and atoms, and use these interactions to achieve efficient quantum memories, efficient photon detectors, and reliable entangling gates.
Perhaps any given photon emission or absorption just corresponds to a single quantum change in an allowed set of multi-level modal vibration energy states — food for thought.
