Composite structure providing steady-state non-equilibrium distribution of free carriers and IR system using same for photon energy up-conversion

Methods and specialized media adapted to the formation of a steady-state, non-equilibrium distribution of free carriers using mesoscopic classical confinement. Specialized media is silicon-based (e.g., crystalline silicon, amorphous silicon, silicon dioxide) and formed from mesoscopic sized particle...

Zusammenfassung:	Methods and specialized media adapted to the formation of a steady-state, non-equilibrium distribution of free carriers using mesoscopic classical confinement. Specialized media is silicon-based (e.g., crystalline silicon, amorphous silicon, silicon dioxide) and formed from mesoscopic sized particles embedded with a matrix of wide-bandgap material, such as silicon dioxide. An IR to visible light imaging system is implemented around the foregoing.
