2. Fluorescent lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescent_lamp

   The spectrum of light emitted from a fluorescent lamp is the combination of light directly emitted by the mercury vapor, and light emitted by the phosphorescent coating. The spectral lines from the mercury emission and the phosphorescence effect give a combined spectral distribution of light that is different from those produced by incandescent ...

3. Fluorescent-lamp formats - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescent-lamp_formats

   Cross section of a typical fluorescent lamp with and without a reflector. Some lamps have an internal opaque reflector. Coverage of the reflector ranges from 120° to 310° of the lamp's circumference. Reflector lamps are used when light is only desired to be emitted in a single direction, or when an application requires the maximum amount of ...

4. Standard illuminant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_illuminant

   Illuminants D (1967) represent variations of daylight, illuminant E is the equal-energy illuminant, while illuminants F (2004) represent fluorescent lamps of various composition. There are instructions on how to experimentally produce light sources ("standard sources") corresponding to the older illuminants.

5. Coverage (lens) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coverage_(lens)

   An APS-C type lens often does not have the coverage to cast light on the entirety of a 35mm sensor, causing dark corners in the images. [2] One common misconception about lenses is that focal length determines the angle of view for a lens, when in reality it is a combination of focal length, lens coverage, and sensor size. A lens of a certain ...

6. Fluorescence-lifetime imaging microscopy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescence-lifetime...

   Fluorescence lifetimes can be determined in the frequency domain by a phase-modulation method. The method uses a light source that is pulsed or modulated at high frequency (up to 500 MHz) such as an LED, diode laser or a continuous wave source combined with an electro-optic modulator or an acousto-optic modulator. The fluorescence is (a ...

7. Optical brightener - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_brightener

   Laundry detergent fluorescing under ultraviolet light. Optical brighteners, optical brightening agents (OBAs), fluorescent brightening agents (FBAs), or fluorescent whitening agents (FWAs), are chemical compounds that absorb light in the ultraviolet and violet region (usually 340-370 nm) of the electromagnetic spectrum, and re-emit light in the blue region (typically 420-470 nm) through the ...

9. Compact fluorescent lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_fluorescent_lamp

   Circular and U-shaped lamps were devised to reduce the length of fluorescent light fixtures. The first fluorescent light bulb and fixture were displayed to the general public at the 1939 New York World's Fair. The spiral CFL was invented in 1976 by Edward E. Hammer, an engineer with General Electric, [7] in response to the 1973 oil crisis. [8]
