List of light sources

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of sources of light, the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Light sources produce photons from another energy source, such as heat, chemical reactions, or conversion of mass or a different frequency of electromagnetic energy, and include light bulbs and stars like the Sun. Reflectors (such as the moon, cat's eyes, and mirrors) do not actually produce the light that comes from them.

Incandescence

Incandescence is the emission of light from a hot body as a result of its temperature.

  • Nernst lamp – Early form of lamp using an incandescent ceramic rod

Combustion

Lamps

Other

  • Argon flash – Single-use source of very short and extremely bright flash of light - shock wave
  • Brazier – Container used to burn charcoal or other solid fuel
  • Bunsen burner – Laboratory device used to make fire from fuel and oxidizer gases
  • Candle – Wick embedded in solid flammable substance
    Candle
  • Ember – A hot lump of slowly burning solid fuel, usually associated with a fire
  • Explosive – Substance that can explode
  • Fire – Rapid and hot oxidation of a material
    Fire
  • Fire whirl – Whirlwind induced by and often composed of fire
    Fire whirl
  • Fireworks – Low explosive pyrotechnic devices for entertainment
    Fireworks
  • Flamethrower – Ranged incendiary device designed to project a controllable stream of fire
  • Incandescent light bulb – Electric light bulb with a resistively heated wire filament
  • Muzzle flash – Light created by gunfire

Starry sky, the Milky Way, and a shooting star

Luminescence

Luminescence is emission of light by a substance not resulting from heat.

Bioluminescence

Bioluminescence is light resulting from biochemical reaction by a living organism.

Cathodoluminescence

Cathodoluminescence is light resulting from a luminescent material being struck by electrons.

Chemiluminescence

Chemiluminescence glow sticks

Chemiluminescence is light resulting from a chemical reaction.

Cryoluminescence

Cryoluminescence is the emission of light when an object is cooled.

Crystalloluminescence

Crystalloluminescence is light produced during crystallization.

Electric discharge (electrical energy)

Electrochemiluminescence

Electrochemiluminescence is light resulting from an electrochemical reaction.

Electroluminescence

Electroluminescence is light resulting from an electric current being passed through a substance.

Light-emitting diodes

Mechanoluminescence

Mechanoluminescence is light resulting from a mechanical action on a solid.

  • Triboluminescence, light generated when bonds in a material are broken when that material is scratched, crushed, or rubbed
  • Fractoluminescence, light generated when bonds in certain crystals are broken by fractures
  • Piezoluminescence, light produced by the action of pressure on certain solids
  • Sonoluminescence, light resulting from imploding bubbles in a liquid when excited by sound

Photoluminescence

Photoluminescence is light resulting from absorption of photons.

  • Fluorescence, the emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light or other electromagnetic radiation
  • Phosphorescence, the delayed re-emission of light by substance that has absorbed it

Radioluminescence

Radioluminescent

Radioluminescence is light resulting from bombardment by ionizing radiation.

Thermoluminescence

Thermoluminescence is light from the re-emission of absorbed energy when a substance is heated.
