General Concepts of Illumination

In general, each one of our signs or lights provides illumination via

heat, electrical energy, or sub-atomic motion:

Incandescence produces light by heating a substance

Electroluminescence produces light as a result of an electric current passed through a substance

Cathodoluminescence produces light as a result of being struck by an electron

Photoluminescence produces light as a result of absorption of photons

Fluorescence produces light in which the emitted photons are of lower energy than those absorbed

Phosphorescence produces light via fluorescence slightly delayed after initial absorption of radiation

Radioluminescence produces light as a result of bombardment by ionizing radiation

The following are types of luminescence:

Chemiluminescence, the emission of light as a result of a chemical reaction

Bioluminescence, a result of biochemical reactions in a living organism

Electrochemiluminescence, a result of an electrochemical reaction

Lyoluminescence, a result of dissolving a solid (usually heavily irradiated) in a liquid

solvent

Crystalloluminescence, produced during crystallization

Electroluminescence, a result of an electric current passed through a substance

Cathodoluminescence, a result of a luminescent material being struck by electrons

Mechanoluminescence, a result of a mechanical action on a solid

Triboluminescence, generated when bonds in a material are broken when that

material is scratched, crushed, or rubbed

Fractoluminescence, generated when bonds in certain crystals are broken by

fractures

Piezoluminescence, produced by the action of pressure on certain solids[3]

Sonoluminescence, a result of imploding bubbles in a liquid when excited by sound

Photoluminescence, a result of absorption of photons

Fluorescence, photoluminescence as a result of singletsinglet electronic relaxation

(typical lifetime: nanoseconds)

Phosphorescence, photoluminescence as a result of tripletsinglet electronic

relaxation (typical lifetime: milliseconds to hours)

Raman Emission, photoluminescence as a result of inelastic light scattering, (lifetime:

nanoseconds)

Radioluminescence, a result of bombardment by ionizing radiation

Thermoluminescence, the re-emission of absorbed energy when a substance is heated [4]

Cryoluminescence, the emission of light when an object is cooled (an example of this
is wulfenite)
