The human reception of light includes image-forming and non-image-forming effects which are triggered by spectral distribution and intensity of light. Ideal lighting is similar to daylight, which could be evaluated by spectral or chromaticity match. LED-based and CFL-based lighting were analyzed here, proposed according to spectral and chromaticity match, respectively. The photobiological effects were expressed by effectiveness for blue light hazard, cirtopic activity, and photopic vision. Good spectral match provides light with more similar effects to those obtained by the chromaticity match. The new parameters are useful for better evaluation of complex human responses caused by lighting.

Eu activated ZnSiO red phosphor synthesized by pyrolysis technique at 1000ºC for one hour is reported. Upon excitation by 394 nm and 464 nm, the phosphor displays a distinct red emission peaking around 614 nm, a characteristic of f-f electronic transitions involving Eu ions.Incorporating alkali metal ions such as Li, Na and K into ZnSiO:Eu phosphor led to a remarkable increase in photoluminescence (PL) intensity.

Full-spectral optical camouflage is of broad interest and in urgent demand because of everlasting safety pursuit in modern society. However, the widely existing dim scenarios call for not only broadband low thermal detectivity but also wide-gamut camouflaging colors with both low lightness and minimal chromatism. Here, a tape-like metamaterial (meta-tape) with broad spectral manipulation bandwidth from visible to mid-infrared is demonstrated.

Article Synopsis
- High-resolution phase-contrast images from electron microscopes capture electron interactions, requiring a nuanced understanding of wave behavior and phase coherence over time.
- The study links the concepts of phase decoherence, energy uncertainty, and coherence length to explain how interactions between electrons and materials affect imaging quality.
- The findings reveal that when the self-coherence length falls below the crystal unit cell size, it disrupts coherent illumination, potentially influencing broader understanding of interactions in quantum mechanics.

Recent composites are being developed to simplify shade matching in composite restorations. Only a limited amount of research has been conducted to determine the optical performance of this newly introduced composite in this area. This study investigated the Omnichroma (OMN) color matching (a single shade composite within type-I restorations) via simulated clinical cavities.

- Various color datasets used for developing chromatic adaptation transforms (CAT) have inconsistencies due to different experimental setups and methods.
- A detailed analysis is needed to understand how these setup differences affect outcomes and to create a framework for properly classifying the datasets.
- This study investigates three types of media and two experimental methods to demonstrate the significant impact of viewing medium on chromatic adaptation, with key factors being color correlation with global illumination and whether the surface is reflective or self-luminous.*
