525nm

Light at 525nm falls within the green-teal spectrum and has several interesting applications:

  • LED Lighting and Displays: This wavelength is very close to the peak sensitivity of the human eye (around 520-570nm) making it ideal for creating efficient and bright green colored LEDs. These LEDs find use in general lighting applications, traffic signals, and backlighting for displays.

  • Biomedical Applications:

    • Flow Cytometry: Flow cytometry is a technique used to analyze and sort individual cells. Lasers emitting light around 525nm can be used to excite certain fluorescent proteins within cells, allowing researchers to identify and differentiate different cell populations.
    • Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) (Emerging): As mentioned previously for shorter wavelengths, there's ongoing research into the use of light around 525nm for PDT. Here, specific photosensitizers might be activated by this wavelength to target unwanted cells.

  • Plant Science: Plants utilize various wavelengths of light for photosynthesis. While not the most critical range,525nm light can contribute to some plant growth processes. Horticultural lighting systems sometimes incorporate LEDs with this wavelength to provide a more complete light spectrum for plants.
