Primary sources behind our work on alkali-vapor light and photovoltaic conversion. Each entry links the original paper, the data we traced from it, the numbers we derived, and a live model you can run in the browser.
Every spectrum traced from the full-resolution scan and integrated: pulsed sodium puts 94% of its electrical input into 0.4–1.3 µm light, pulsed cesium 60%, dc potassium 62%, dc xenon 17%. With a WebAssembly cell bench for testing PV band gaps against each lamp.
