We produce crystalline compositions capable of converting wavelengths of light up and down the electromagnetic spectrum. We incorporate precise ratios of ions in unique host lattices and synthesize them under exact conditions to achieve control of their optical properties through highly complex energy transfer mechanisms. The emissions of the crystals are tuned for various parameters such as lifetime, emission spectra and power density. The reader of this text has at least 1,000 of our crystals incorporated into something they are carrying or wearing. The photonic crystals can be grown to any size or morphology with the photonic property of converting almost any wavelength to any other wavelength. The crystals can be incorporated into inks, plastics, metals, water, solvent, drug formulations, etc. With numerous potential applications, we are specifically targeting medical, anti-counterfeit, defense, industrial, transportation, lighting, solar, display, optical computing, toys and the telecom markets.
