Photostimulated luminescence (PSL) is the release of stored energy within a phosphor by stimulation with visible light, to produce a luminescent signal. X-rays...

alternating-intensity red, green, and blue phosphors, monochrome monitors have only one color of phosphor (mono means "one", and chrome means "color")...

current in the gas excites mercury vapor, to produce ultraviolet and make a phosphor coating in the lamp glow. Fluorescent lamps convert electrical energy into...

phosphor material, light is emitted through the process of phosphorescence. The overall process of using a radioactive material to excite a phosphor and...

Laser-powered phosphor display (LPD) is a large-format display technology similar to the cathode-ray tube (CRT). Prysm, Inc., a video wall designer and...

The term calcium phosphate refers to a family of materials and minerals containing calcium ions (Ca2+) together with inorganic phosphate anions. Some so-called...

mask is a metal plate punched with tiny holes that separate the colored phosphors in the layer behind the front glass of the screen. Shadow masks are made...

In phosphors and scintillators, the activator is the element added as dopant to the crystal of the material to create desired type of nonhomogeneities...

cathode-ray tube, but operating at much lower voltages. Each tube in a VFD has a phosphor-coated carbon anode that is bombarded by electrons emitted from the cathode...

radioluminescent phosphor chemical. The radioisotope continually decays, emitting radiation particles which strike molecules of the phosphor, exciting them...

hexafluoromanganate(IV) (K2[MnF6], with Mn4+) it forms a narrow band red producing phosphor, (often abbreviated PSF or KSF), of economic interest due to its applicability...

Phosphor bands were introduced on British stamps from 1959 as a replacement for the previous graphite lined stamps as an aid in the mechanical sorting...

Phosphor thermometry is an optical method for surface temperature measurement. The method exploits luminescence emitted by phosphor material. Phosphors...

printing, laser scanning, and light beam illumination. With the use of a phosphor like that found on white LEDs, laser diodes can be used for general illumination...

contains tritium and a phosphor. As tritium decays, it emits beta particles; these strike the phosphor, causing the phosphor to give off photons, much...

borosilicate glass bulb. The outer bulb may be clear or coated with a phosphor; in either case, the outer bulb provides thermal insulation, protection...

a 45-degree line was drawn. The 740's CRT used a short persistence P11 phosphor. The film used was 35 mm and was stored in a magazine that could hold up...
