Abstract:
A photon conversion assembly. The photon conversion assembly includes a first plurality of photon conversion particles configured to convert photons in a first received band to photons in a first converted band, and a second plurality of photon conversion particles configured to convert photons in a second received band to photons in a second converted band. A first plasmonic near-field enhancement material that enhances an attraction of photons in the first received band is positioned in proximity to at least some of the first plurality of photon conversion particles, and a second plasmonic near-field enhancement material that enhances an attraction of photons in the second received band is positioned in proximity to at least some of the second plurality of photon conversion particles.
