Research on the Application of Green Lighting Technology in Sports Lighting

With China’s continued development of society and economy, the importance of ecological environmental protection is growing. This protection has become an indispensable part of social development. The use of various green environmental protection equipment can effectively promote ecological environmental protection and reduce the adverse effects of human activities on the environment. In the field of sports lighting equipment in China, traditional lighting methods constitute an inherent danger to the environment, leading to a waste of valuable resources and environmental pollution. This study involves a multi-tile-multifunctional-function controller, which effectively solves the control problem of the control light. In the sports lighting group, the high and low-level lighting of the sports lighting group, and adjust the light from the height highly effectively to adjust each height. The low-shot mode reduces the power consumption of the system by about 33% to 60%, which significantly helps energy saving. By optimizing the performance of the lighting system, promoting the preservation of power resources, reducing the adverse effects of pollution caused by equipment utilization and energy waste, and promoting the harmonious cohabitation of human and natural environment. .

Monochromatic green light stimulation during incubation shortened the hatching time via pineal function in White Leghorn eggs

Background:Effect of monochromatic green light illumination on embryo development has been reported in chickens.The avian pineal gland is an important photo-endocrine organ formed by a mediodorsal protrusion during embryonic development.However,the involvement of pineal gland in the light transduction process remains to be elucidated.In the present study,we investigated the influence of monochromatic green light on hatching time and explored the possible mechanism via pineal function.Results:A total of 600 eggs of White Leghorn(Shaver strain)were incubated under photoperiods of either 12 h of light and 12 h of darkness using monochromatic green light(12L:12D group)or 24 h of darkness(0L:24D group)for 18 d.Compared to 0L:24D group,the green light stimulation shortened the hatching time without extending the hatch window or impairing hatchability.The liver of embryos incubated in the 12L:12D light condition was heavier than those of the 0L:24D group on d 21 post incubation which may be linked to the observed increase in the serum concentration of insulin-like growth factor 1(IGF-1);primary secretion of the liver.Histological structure analysis of pineal gland demonstrated that the light stimulation increased follicle area,wall thickness and lumen area on d 10 and d 12 post incubation.Rhythmic function analysis demonstrated that three clock related genes(brain and muscle ARNT-like-1,BMAL1;circadian locomotor output cycles kaput,CLOCK;and cryptochrome-1,CRY1)and a melatonin rate-limiting enzyme related gene(arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase,AANAT)were rhythmically expressed in the pineal gland of the 12L:12D group,but not in the 0L:24D group.Simultaneously,the light stimulation also increased the concentration of melatonin(MT),which was linked to hepatocyte proliferation and IGF-1 secretion in previous studies.Conclusions:The 12L:12D monochromatic green light stimulation during incubation shortened hatching time without impairing hatching performance.Pineal gland’s early histological development and maturation of its rhythmic function were accelerated by the light stimulation.It may be the key organ in the photo-endocrine axis that regulates embryo development,and the potential mechanism could be through enhanced secretion of MT in the 12L:12D group which promotes the secretion of IGF-1.

Effect of green flickering light on myopia development and expression of M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor in guinea pigs

AIM: To investigate the effects of green flickering light on refractive development and expression of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor(mAChR) M1 in the eyes of guinea pigs.METHODS: Thirty guinea pigs(15-20 days old) were randomly divided into three groups(n=10/group). Animals in group I were raised in a completely closed carton with green flickering light illumination. Those in group II were kept in the open top closed carton under normal natural light. Guinea pigs were raised in a sight-widen cage under normal natural light in group III. The refractive status and axial length were measured before and after 8 weeks' illumination. Moreover, total RNA extracted from retinal, choroidal, and scleral tissues were determined by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR). The expressions of the receptor M1 were also explored in the retina, choroid, and sclera using immunohistochemistry.RESULTS: There was a remarkable reduction in refractive error and increase in axial length after 8-weeks' green flickering light stimulation(P<0.001). The expression of M1 receptor mRNA in sclera and retina in myopia group were remarkably lower than that in group II and III(P<0.01). Significant reduced expression of M1 receptor stimulated by green flickering light in retina and sclera tissues were also observed(P<0.05). However, there was no M1 receptor expression in choroid in 3 groups.CONCLUSION: Myopia can be induced by 8 weeks' green flickering light exposure in the animal model. M1 receptor may be involved causally or protectively in myopia development.

Effects of yellow and green light stress on emergence,feeding and mating of Anomala corpulenta Motschulsky and Holotrichia parallela Motschulsky(Coleoptera:Scarabaeidae)

Light is one of the key environmental factors for insects to survive.Artificial light sources different from natural environmental light can cause light stress in insects.Yellow and green light stress can interfere with the diurnal rhythm of nocturnal moths and their mating,oviposition,and adult longevity.The scarabaeid beetles Anomala corpulenta Motschulsky and Holotrichia parallela Motschulsky are widely distributed,and they are very harmful underground pests.In order to clarify the effects of light stress on their behaviors,individuals of both species were exposed to yellow light(565-585 nm)and green light(525-545 nm),with different light intensity gradients of yellow light in a laboratory setting.The short-term light stress treatment of A.corpulenta and H.parallela was carried out at night.The number of beetles emerging per half an hour was recorded,and mating pairs and feeding activity in 24 h were counted.The results showed that yellow and green light stress significantly changed the rhythm and reduced the rate of beetle emergence in the two beetle species investigated.Also,the peak emergence activity was delayed and the feeding and mating activities were significantly reduced.When treated with different intensities of yellow light,it was found that the rate of emergence of A.corpulenta under 10 lx was close to the control groups.The rate of emergence in H.parallela was significantly lower than the control groups before 0:00,in the 60 lx and 110 lx treatment groups,but after 0:00,the emergence rate of H.parallela was significantly higher in the 60 lx and 110 lx treatment groups than other treatments.However,the emergence rhythms in the three light intensity treatment groups are basically the same as in the control groups.The feeding amount and mating beetles in the three light intensity treatment groups were significantly lower than in the control groups.There were no significant differences in the three treatments.The results show that light stress above 10 lx significantly interferes with the behavioral activities of the two beetle species,investigated.This study provides a new approach for a light control technology for nocturnal beetle pest species.

3.6 W compact all-fiber Pr3+-doped green laser at 521 nm

Green semiconductor lasers are still undeveloped,so high-power green lasers have heavily relied on nonlinear frequency conversion of near-infrared lasers,precluding compact and low-cost green laser systems.Here,we report the first Watt-level all-fiber CW Pr3t-doped laser operating directly in the green spectral region,addressing the aforementioned difficulties.The compact all-fiber laser consists of a double-clad Pr3t-doped fluoride fiber,two homemade fiber dichroic mirrors at visible wavelengths,and a 443-nm fiber-pigtailed pump source.Benefitting from>10 MW∕cm2 high damage intensity of our designed fiber dielectric mirror,the green laser can stably deliver 3.62-W of continuous-wave power at∼521 nm with a slope efficiency of 20.9%.To the best of our knowledge,this is the largest output power directly from green fiber lasers,which is one order higher than previously reported.Moreover,these green all-fiber laser designs are optimized by using experiments and numerical simulations.Numerical results are in excellent agreement with our experimental results and show that the optimal gain fiber length,output mirror reflectivity,and doping level should be considered to obtain higher power and efficiency.This work may pave a path toward compact high-power green all-fiber lasers for applications in biomedicine,laser display,underwater detection,and spectroscopy.

Influences of yellow and green lights on the visual response of western flower thrips and field verification

This study aimed to determine the effects of spectral light characteristics on the visual response of the western flower thrips,the strengthening mechanism of thrips response behavior regulated by light,and thrips response characteristics to contrast light.Light with combined and single wavelength were tested by using a self-made behavior response device for thrips.Light sources for trapping thrips were made to verify the trapping effect on thrips in a greenhouse,and the reasons for changes in thrips behavior were analyzed to characterize the mechanism of their phototactic response.The results showed that the light mode(single,contrast,combined light)affected the thrips visual response and approach response,whereas in contrast light,the effects were optimal.Combination light inhibited the thrips visual response,and when the illumination increased,the thrips visual response to single and combination light intensified,and the thrips approach sensitivity to green light increased in contrast and combination light.However,the light mode did not affect the thrips visual response and sensitivity to spectral light characteristics.The degree of thrips visual response to yellow light was stronger than that to green light,while the degree of thrips visual response to green light was stronger than that to yellow light,indicating that the photo-induced mechanism of the thrips visual response differed from that of the thrips approach response.Moreover,in the greenhouse,the trapping effect of different light sources on thrips was positively correlated with temperature.The trapping effect of green light was optimal,followed by a yellow light source,while the difference of light intensity(illumination,illumination energy)and its photo-thermal intensity between yellow and green light was the reason for the differences in the degree of visual trends and the trapping effects of thrips.However,the sensitivity of thrips responding to different light depended on the difference in the heterogeneous stimulation intensity of different spectral light.Thus,light brightness and photo-thermal effects were the causes of thrips visual responses,while bio-photoelectric reaction effects caused thrips to produce a visual response and affected the degree of the thrips visual response.The results reveal the underlying causes of pest control by light,and provide a theoretical basis for the research and development of pest induction equipment and light arrangements.

Mechanical characterization of rose bengal and green light crosslinked collagen scaffolds for regenerative medicine

Collagen is one of the most important biomaterials for tissue engineering approaches.Despite its excellent biocompatibility,it shows the non-negligible disadvantage of poor mechanical stability.Photochemical crosslinking with rose bengal and green light(RGX)is an appropriate method to improve this property.The development of collagen laminates is helpful for further adjustment of the mechanical properties as well as the controlled release of incorporated substances.In this study,we investigate the impact of crosslinking and layering of two different collagen scaffolds on the swelling behavior andmechanical behavior inmicro tensile tests to obtain information on its wearing comfort(stiffness,strength and ductility).The mechanical stability of the collagen material after degradation due to cell contact is examined using thickness measurements.There is no linear increase or decrease due to layering homologous laminates.Unexpectedly,a decrease in elongation at break,Young’s modulus and ultimate tensile strength are measured when the untreated monolayer is compared to the crosslinked one.Furthermore,we can detect a connection between stability and cell proliferation.The results show that with variation in number and type of layers,collagen scaffolds with tailored mechanical properties can be produced.Such a multi-layered structure enables the release of biomolecules into inner or outer layers for biomedical applications.

Polychromatic Fourier-PAM fluorometry and hyperspectral analysis of chlorophyll fluorescence from Phaseolus vulgaris leaves: Effects of green light

Maximal and partial quantum yields of photosystem II(Fv/Fm and Fv–/Fp)in Phaseolus vulgaris leaves were determined in response to the turning on saturating and low(undersaturating)actinic light,accordingly.Measuring lights(ML)of blue,green,and red colors were applied simultaneously using a novel method of the polychromatic fast Fourier transforming pulse amplitude modulation(FFT PAM)chlorophyll fluorometry.Colors of ML were cross-combined with the colors of low and saturating actinic light.Fv/Fm values measured with the green ML were found to be close to that of red light,whereas application of blue ML leads to lower Fv/Fm.In addition,5-nm resolved excitation spectra were measured to evaluate the dependence between red/far red fluorescence ratios(peak height based–F685/F730,and deconvolved peak square based–F685sq/F730sq)and wavelength of the excitation light.It demonstrates that chlorophyll fluorescence ratio red/far red may be dependent on the spectral absorbance of chlorophyll.The data obtained confirm the results of the previous studies which explain high photosynthetic activity of the green light in terms of redistribution of absorbed quanta throughout thickness of the leaf,thus suggesting possible advisability of green light application in greenhouse lighting,especially for the plants having thick leaves.

NO_(2) sensing with CdS nanowires at room temperature under green light illumination

Detection of ppb-level NO_(2) gas under atmosphere is urgent to meet the requirements of the rapidly developing internet of things.Compared with traditional sensing methods,light illumination has been considered as a key approach for excellent gas sensor performance under moderate conditions.Herein,we developed a green-light-assisted gas sensor based on cadmium sulfide nanowires(CdS NWs)that has good NO_(2) sensing capability at ambient temperature.The response values of NO_(2) are 236%and 11%to 10 ppm and 12.5 ppb,respectively.Furthermore,the CdS NWs sensor has a high selectivity for NO_(2) over a variety of interference gases,as well as good stability.The cleaning light activation and the sulfur vacancy-trapped charge behavior of CdS NWs are observed,which suggest a light-assisted sensing mechanism.These results suggest that light-induced charge separation behavior might significantly improve gas-sensing characteristics.

Effects of light quality on growth and development of cucumber seedlings in controlled environment

Conventional light sources have been successfully used to cultivate a wide variety of horticultural crops.However,they are of limited use due to uncontrollability of spectra and energy inefficiency.Light-emitting diodes(LEDs)emerged with tremendous potential in controlled environment agriculture due to their energy efficiency,longevity,and spectral specificity,but the effects of different types of LEDs on plant growth and development must be examined.In this study,cucumber(Cucumis sativus L.cv.Zhongnong 26)seedlings were grown under four different lighting treatments that each delivered a photosynthetic photon flux density of 200μmol/m2·s at plant canopy including triphosphate fluorescent lamps(TF),high-frequency fluorescent lamps(HF),white LEDs(WL),and red and blue LEDs(RBL).Cucumber seedlings were grown in a growth chamber at(25.0±1.5)℃with 12-hour light and 12-hour dark for 30 days after sowing,and data were subsequently collected.Seedlings grown under the WL were 45%,12%,and 40%taller than those grown under the TF,HF and RBL,respectively.The leaf area was 23%smaller under the TF than under the HF.The shoot dry weight was 16%-22%lower under the TF than under the other lighting treatments.The transplants grown under the RBL had the lowest root dry weight and root to shoot ratio.The seedling quality index was similar among all the lighting treatments.The LEDs treatment yielded more total dry weight with unit electric power compared to the fluorescent lamps.The chlorophyll content was 13%-15%higher in plants grown under the HF and WL than that under the TF and RBL.Plants grown under the WL and RBL had greater photosynthetic rate,transpiration rate,and stomatal conductance than those grown under the TF and HF.It was concluded that high quality cucumber seedlings can be efficiently produced under the broad-spectrum WL that emit a reasonable amount of blue,green and red light,and the lack of green light and/or high ratio of red to blue light under the RBL may cause undesired plant attributes.

Deep Eutectic Solvent-assisted Synthesis of Nitrogen-doped Carbon Quantum Dots for Cell Imaging

Carbon quantum dots(CQDs)are widely used in fluorescence imaging due to their negligible toxicity,low-cost and excellent Huorescence properties.The fluorescence properties of CQDs are greatly a fleeted by the synthesis method,passivation agent and reaction media.In this study,the nitrogen-doped CQDs(N-CQDs)were synthesized by a facile microwave-assisted method with citric acid(CA)as a carbon source and deep eutectic solvents as a N-dopaiit as well as the reaction solvent.After detailed characterizations,the as-prepared N-CQDs exliibited near spherical morphology with an average size of(2.64±0.55)nm.Besides,the abundant hydrophilic limctional groups including hydroxyl,carboxyl,amine and quaternary-ammonium were present on the surface of the N-CQDs.TheN-CQDs displayed the excitation-dependent fluorescence feature under the excitation wavelength of 350—80 nm.Moreover,the N-CQDs could be efficiently uptaken by RAW264.7 cells and emitted bright green light.Meanwhile,the resultant N-CQDs showed the low cytotoxicity in living cells,suggesting the great potential in bio-imaging applications.
