Mar. 25, 2020 12:51 IST: Scientists discover new kind of light that breaks limits of natural law. ‘Super-Planckian’ material emits light that goes beyond the limits of natural law. A new study presents a material that emits light when heated that appears to exceed the limits set by that natural law. A new material discovered by Shawn Yu Lin, lead author and a professor of physics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, defies this convention set by Planck’s law, emitting light that is coherent, similar to that produced by lasers or LEDs. The difference is that it doesn’t need the costly structure needed to produce the stimulated emission of those technologies. Having created the first all-metallic photonic crystal in 2002, Lin, who has been working on this concept for 17 years, could prove it experimentally. However, theoretically no one was able explain it as it went against the limits set by Planck’s law. He recently published the spectroscopy study in Nature Scientific Reports about this ‘Super-Planckian’ material, which showed a spike in radiation at about 1.7 microns, which is the near-infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. The same concept was unveiled in his previous imaging study that got published in IEEE Photonics Journal. In Nature Scientific Reports, he presents the most rigorous tests he has conducted by taking spectral analysis in five positions as the aperture of an infrared spectrometer changes from a view filled with the blackbody to one of the material. Peak emission occurs at 1.7 micrometers , with an intensity of 8 times greater than the blackbody reference. “We believe the light is coming from within the crystal, but there are so many planes within the structure, so many surfaces acting as oscillators, so much excitation, that it behaves almost like an artificial laser material,” Lin stated. “It’s just not a conventional surface.”

The carotenoids then release the energy as heat. A modification to a femtosecond spectroscopic technique, which allowed them to observe over a broader range of energy levels– spanning from red light to blue light. Using the new technique, researchers could observe that chlorophylls absorb red light and carotenoids absorb blue and green light, thus being able to monitor energy transfer.
