Quantum efficiency QE. Similarly, lower energy (green) light is absorbed in the bulk of a solar cell, and a low diffusion length will affect the collection probability from the solar cell bulk, reducing the QE in the green portion of the spectrum. Generally, solar cells on the market today do not produce much electricity from ultraviolet and infrared light (<400 nm and >1100 nm wavelengths, respectively); these wavelengths of light are either filtered out or are absorbed by the cell, thus heating the cell. That heat is wasted energy, and could damage the cell. Quantum efficiency of Image Sensors : Quantum efficiency
Ultraviolet light therapy that tanning beds that primarily emit UVA cannot be effective for the treatment of psoriasis. Other limitations to the use of tanning beds for the treatment of skin conditions include the imprecise output of the lamps and beds, imprecise spectral targeting of commercial tanning beds, the fact that the patient or non-medical staff run the machines, and other acute or long-term side effects. Ultraviolet light therapy Ultraviolet light therapy or ultraviolet phototherapy is a form of treatment for certain skin disorders including atopic skin disorder and vitiligo when used with psoralen to form the PUVA treatment. It consists of irradiation
