Comment on Infrared contact lenses let you see in the dark
Bubs@lemm.ee 5 weeks agoTL;DR from Wikipedia: In photon upconversion, two or more incident photons of relatively low energy are absorbed and converted into one emitted photon with higher energy.
Basically photons are combined into a photon that is nearer in wavelength to visible light.
