Researchers Demonstrate Ultrafast Conversion of Light into Electricity

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
KIEL, Germany, Dec. 21, 2018 — A team from Kiel University (CAU) filmed the conversion of light energy into a solid — an exchange that takes place in a matter of femtoseconds (fs) — using an ultrafast camera system developed by the researchers. The team was able to observe the energy exchange of the electrons with their environment in real time and distinguish individual phases. With the ultrafast system in the Physics Centre at Kiel University (Germany), the behavior of electrons can be filmed live. Courtesy of Jürgen Haacks, CAU. The researchers irradiated a graphite sample with a short, intense...Read full article

    optoelectronics
    Optoelectronics is a branch of electronics that focuses on the study and application of devices and systems that use light and its interactions with different materials. The term "optoelectronics" is a combination of "optics" and "electronics," reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of this field. Optoelectronic devices convert electrical signals into optical signals or vice versa, making them crucial in various technologies. Some key components and applications of optoelectronics include: ...
