文摘In the tropical regions represented by Hainan,there are abundant solar and thermal resources,and it is relatively suitable for the construction of photovoltaic greenhouse(PVG).However,the construction of PVG still relies mainly on experience and is incapable of quantifying the balance between the photovoltaic(PV)generation and the light requirements for agricultural production.As a result,actual PVGs are primarily PV-based,without carefully considering the needs of agricultural daylighting.To quantify the influence of the design parameters of PVGs and the layout of PV panels on the internal daylighting of serrated PVGs,and to optimize the daylighting design of the roof,this paper utilizes the Design Builder software to establish gradient models for a multi-span serrated-type PVG in tropical regions.Gradient models were established in terms of aspects,namely span,width of longitudinal/transverse daylighting strip,height,roof angle,and photovoltaic panel coverage rate(PCR).Daylighting in the greenhouse of each gradient model was simulated,and with the annual average daily light integral(A_(DLI))and distribution uniformity(DU)as evaluation indicators,the influence of various design parameters on the daylighting inside the greenhouse was quantified.The result reveals that:(1)PCR is the decisive indicator for daylighting in the PVG,and a function between PCR and the A_(DLI) is derived as A_(DLI)=-15.5 PCR+16.841;(2)Increasing the width of longitudinal daylighting strip significantly improves the A_(DLI) and enhances DU while increasing the span has a noticeable effect on improving A_(DLI) but does not significantly enhance DU;(3)Increasing the eave height without changing PCR does not enhance A_(DLI) but effectively improves DU;increasing the transverse daylighting strip and adjusting the roof angle hardly improves A_(DLI).In summary,it is recommended that the optimal span for PVGs in tropical regions be set within the range of 6.5-8.0m,and the eave height be set within the range of 2.5-3.5m.Preferably,the longitudinal daylighting strip with a width ranging from 0.5-0.8m should be installed.Based on the above relationship function,the PCR can be calculated according to the appropriate light demand for the cultivated crops.The daylighting design theory proposed in this paper can provide a theoretical basis and reference for the healthy development of the PV industry in tropical regions.

文摘Supplemental lighting has emerged as a widely adopted technique in greenhouse cultivation to enhance product visibility andimprove theflavor characteristics ofChinese bayberry(Myrica rubra)in the internationalmarket.While studies on lighting have predominantly focused on colorimetry,limited research has addressed the precise control of chromatic parameters and their effect on fruit quality.This study examined the effects of varying lighting conditions,specifically correlated color temperatures and illuminance,on the growth and quality of Chinese bayberry varieties“Black Charcoal”and“Dongkui”using a precision control system.The bayberry plants were exposed to a constant illuminance of 155μmol·m^(-2)·s^(-1) with chromatic levels ranging from 2250 to 6000 K.Black Charcoal demonstrated substantial improvements under different chromatic parameters,with fruit weight and size increasing by 40%and 14%,respectively.Furthermore,soluble solids content increased by 4% and vitamin C content rose by 142%,while organic acid content decreased by 30%.Dongkui,however,showed more modest responses under identical conditions,with fruit weight increasing by 2% and fruit size decreasing by 1%.Soluble solids and vitamin C contents showed minimal increases of 2% and 2.5%,respectively,while organic acid content decreased by 8%.The findings demonstrate that supplemental LED lighting significantly enhances both yield and quality parameters in Black Charcoal compared with Dongkui.These results provide valuable insights for optimizing Chinese bayberry cultivation,and the precise control methodology developed can be used to improve supplemental lighting strategies in other fruit and plant species.

文摘The visual noise of each light intensity area is different when the image is drawn by Monte Carlo method.However,the existing denoising algorithms have limited denoising performance under complex lighting conditions and are easy to lose detailed information.So we propose a rendered image denoising method with filtering guided by lighting information.First,we design an image segmentation algorithm based on lighting information to segment the image into different illumination areas.Then,we establish the parameter prediction model guided by lighting information for filtering(PGLF)to predict the filtering parameters of different illumination areas.For different illumination areas,we use these filtering parameters to construct area filters,and the filters are guided by the lighting information to perform sub-area filtering.Finally,the filtering results are fused with auxiliary features to output denoised images for improving the overall denoising effect of the image.Under the physically based rendering tool(PBRT)scene and Tungsten dataset,the experimental results show that compared with other guided filtering denoising methods,our method improves the peak signal-to-noise ratio(PSNR)metrics by 4.2164 dB on average and the structural similarity index(SSIM)metrics by 7.8%on average.This shows that our method can better reduce the noise in complex lighting scenesand improvethe imagequality.

文摘The rapid expansion of urbanization has led to widespread exposure of wild birds to intensive light at night(LAN).While previous studies have established LAN-induced cognitive impairment in birds,the underlying neurobiological mechanisms remain poorly understood.We hypothesized that LAN exposure impaired cognitive function of birds potentially through neurodegeneration,metabolic dysregulation and neuroinflammatory responses in the telencephalon.Using Zebra Finches(Taeniopygia guttata)as an avian model,under 16L:8D photoperiods,we compared associative learning and memory abilities and neurobiological parameters between experimental groups exposed to dim light at night(LAN)versus nocturnal darkness(CTR).Compared to the CTR birds,the LAN-exposed birds exhibited significantly lower learning and memory performances,reduced neuron density and simplified dendritic morphology in the telencephalons.The key energy metabolic substrates(cholic acid,CTP,D-mannose-6-phosphate)and neuroprotective agents(trehalose,menaquinone,L-gulono-1,4-lactone)in the telencephalons of LAN-exposed birds showed depletion,while oxidative stress markers(methionine sulfoxide)and inflammatory mediators(cis-gondoic acid)exhibited elevation.The neurotransmitter dopamine and histamine metabolic pathway were disrupted in the LAN-exposed birds.The microglias were activated with pro-inflammatory IL-1βand IL-6 levels increasing and anti-inflammatory IL-10 decreasing in the telencephalons of the LAN-exposed birds.These findings indicate a potential mechanistic pathway whereby dim light exposure at night can induce neuroinflammation through oxidative stress-mediated microglial activation,energy metabolism and neurotransmitter homeostasis disruption,ultimately leading to neurodegeneration in the telencephalons of birds.

文摘Due to the wide and adjustable emission range,Ce^(3+)is an indispensable luminous center for full spectrum lighting.However,it needs to be sintered at high temperature in a reducing atmosphere,resulting in difficulty to coexisting with other multivalent activated ions(such as Eu^(3+),Tm^(3+)),which greatly hinders the formation of full spectrum.In this study,a calcium vacancy enhanced self-reduction of Ce^(4+)is realized in CaNaSb_(2)O_(6)F(CNSOF)host under air atmosphere sintering,through which Ce^(3+),Tm^(3+)and Eu^(3+)coexisting in a single-phase full spectrum phosphor was prepared.Notably,the artificial introduction of a calcium vacancy was designed to verify this self-reduction mechanism.Moreover,the energy transfer kinetics among Tm^(3+),Ce^(3+)and Eu^(3+)were explored.Finally,combined with a 340 nm UV chip,a full spectrum phosphor-converted light-emitting diode(pc-LED)was fabricated,showing a broad emission range from 400 to 750 nm,Commission Internationale de I'Edairage(CIE)of(0.3485,0.3673),Ra of 92 and correlated color temperature(CCT)of 4933 K.Utilizing the variation in emission colors of this phosphor under different UV wavelengths,a dual encryption method combining point character code and fluorescent encryption technique is proposed.This work provides an effective path for Ce^(4+)self-reduction to apply in full spectrum pc-LED and information encryption.

文摘In recent years,the development of solid-state lighting devices has increasingly shifted towards high-power laser illumination,making it imperative to develop fluorescent conversion materials with exceptional thermal stability and luminous quality.In this study,we introduced a highly reflective TiO_(2) substrate in combination with a high thermal conductivity AlN substrate to design a Ce:YAG-PiG-TiO_(2)-AlN Film(Ce:YAG PTAF)color converter with outstanding photothermal performance.Remarkably,the thermal conductivity of this material reaches 48.28 W m^(-1) K^(-1).Notably,the optimized PTAF can withstand a high-power output of up to 12.14 W in a static environment,with a maximum luminous flux(LFmax)of 2284.6 lm and maximum luminous efficacy(LEmax)of 222.35 lm W^(-1),showcasing its excellent optical properties.Furthermore,the fabricated Ce:YAG-PiG-TiO_(2)-AlN-Wheel(Ce:YAG PTAW),equipped with a motor operating at 7200 r/min,emits an extraordinary brightness of 4404 lm under 88 W of ultra-high laser irradiation,with stability surpassing that of commercial silicone color wheels,thanks to its superior Li_(2)O-Al_(2)O_(3)-SiO_(2)(LAS)glass system.Interestingly,we designed an innovative spatially separated two-color segmented wheel structure,effectively mitigating the photon reabsorption phenomenon caused by the overlap of the fluorescent powder absorption peaks.When the ratio of Ce:YAG to Ce:GdYAG is 240:120,it yields white light with a color rendering index(CRI)of 80.2,and luminous flux remaining at 3317.8 lm.When encapsulated in a reflective module,it accurately reflects the true color states of objects.These results collectively indicate that both Ce:YAG PTAF and PTAW possess significant application potential in the realm of high-power laser illumination.

文摘China’s economy has developed rapidly since its reform and opening-up.However,the different rates of development in various places due to location and policies have led to significant economic differences.Based on the nighttime lighting data of 281 municipal spatial units in China from 2013 to 2021,this study uses spatial autocorrelation,center of gravity shift,and standard deviation ellipse(SDE)analysis to examine the evolution of the spatial pattern of China’s municipal economy.Based on these,it uses a geographically weighted regression(GWR)model to explore the factors influencing the differences in China’s municipal economy and its spatial heterogeneity.The paper reveals the following results.First,China’s municipal economy as a whole shows a growing trend.Second,the SDE shows a“north-south”distribution pattern,and the concentration of China’s economic development has slightly increased,with a significant centripetal distribution.Third,spatial correlation shows spatial positive correlation,the degree of which is increasing,with strong spatial heterogeneity and regional agglomeration.Finally,measuring the influencing factors according to GWR,the industrial structure and education expenditure coefficients generally show a decreasing trend from the southeast coast to the northwest and inland due to the degree of transformation of industrial structure and the lagging effect of education expenditure on economic growth.Conversely,the innovation driver and urban area coefficients show a decreasing trend from the northwest inland to the southeast coast due to the law of diminishing marginal utility of innovation drivers and differences in urbanization development.Government expenditure coefficients show a higher trend in the East and a lower trend in the West due to policy favoritism and market development level.This research can serve as a theoretical reference for China to achieve high-quality development and move toward common prosperity.

文摘All-inorganic reflective phosphor-in-glass film(PiGF) converter has garnered widespread attentions for high brightness laser-driven white lighting,while its poor color quality and low luminescence stability have been inevitable roadblocks.Herein,the bicolor PiGF containing green-emitting Y3Al3.08Ga1.92O12:Ce3+(YAGG) and red-emitting CaAlSiN_(3):Eu^(2+)(CASN) phosphors bonded on Al2O3substrate was prepared for enabling high color quality laser-driven white lighting in reflective configuration.The bicolor PiGF has high quantum efficiency and good structure stability.By optimizing the CASN content,PiGF thickness and Al_(2)O_(3) content,the reflective bicolor PiGF based white laser diode(LD)displays good luminescence performance with a luminous flux of 451.5 lm and a luminous efficacy of142.3 lm/W and high color quality with a color rendering index(CRI) of 85.3 and a correlated color temperature(CCT) of 5177 K under the incident laser power of 3.15 W,and still has excellent luminescence and color stabilities(CRI and CCT) under the continuous laser excitation of 5.61 W,attributed to the good thermal conductivity and high reflectivity of Al_(2)O_(3) substrate and scattering enhancement effect of Al_(2)O_(3) particles.It can be foreseen that the reflective bicolor PiGF converter provides a promising strategy for enabling high quality laser-driven white lighting.

文摘Although multicrystalline Si photovoltaics have been extensively studied and applied in the collection of solar energy,the same systems suffer significant efficiency losses in indoor settings,where ambient light conditions are considerably smaller in intensity and possess greater components of non-normal incidence.Yet,indoor light-driven,stand-alone devices can offer sustainable advances in next-generation technologies such as the Internet of Things.Here,we present a non-invasive solution to aid in photovoltaic indoor light collection—radially distributed waveguide-encoded lattice(RDWEL)slim films(thickness 1.5 mm).Embedded with a monotonical radial array of cylindrical waveguides(±20°),the RDWEL demonstrates seamless light collection(FoV(fields of view)=74.5°)and imparts enhancements in JSC(short circuit current density)of 44%and 14%for indoor and outdoor lighting conditions,respectively,when coupled to a photovoltaic device and compared to an unstructured but otherwise identical slim film coating.

文摘Solid-state lighting is now developing toward high-power and super-brightness,but is largely limited by the lack of highly robust and efficient color conversion materials that can be survived from high-power or high-power density excitation,typically the red-emitting ones.In this work,we fabricated highly effi-cient and pore-free Sr_(0.5)Ca_(0.5)AlSiN_(3)∶Eu^(2+)(SCASN)red-emitting ceramics by spark plasma sintering of fine phosphor powders.These fine phosphor powders were prepared by treating the commercial phosphors with high-energy ball-milling,centrifugation and acid washing,leading to a particle size of 2.55μm and an internal quantum efficiency as high as 74.0%under 450 nm excitation.The phosphor powders can be densified into SCASN ceramics without using sintering additives at a temperature as low as 1475℃,and the ceramics show an internal quantum efficiency of 75.3%,which is 50%higher than those ceram-ics fabricated with untreated commercial powders.When excited by a high-power blue LED at a current density of 4 A/mm^(2),the SCASN ceramics have a maximum luminous flux of 660 lm(i.e.,26 Mcd/m^(2)).The phosphor ceramics can also withstand a high laser power density of 15.7 W/mm^(2),and exhibit an output luminance of 188 Mcd/m^(2).This work provides a general method to prepare fine phosphor powders that enable to fabricate high efficiency phosphor ceramics used in high-power solid-state lighting.

文摘Improving device efficiency is fundamental for advancing energy harvesting technology,particularly in systems designed to convert light energy into electrical output.In our previous studies,we developed a basic structure light pressure electric generator(Basic-LPEG),which utilized a layered configuration of Ag/Pb(Zr,Ti)O_(3)(PZT)/Pt/GaAs to generate electricity based on light-induced pressure on the PZT.In this study,we sought to enhance the performance of this Basic-LPEG by introducing Ag nanoparticles/graphene oxide(AgNPs/GO)composite units(NP-LPEG),creating upgraded harvesting device.Specifically,by depositing the AgNPs/GO units twice onto the Basic-LPEG,we observed an increase in output voltage and current from 241 mV and 3.1μA to 310 mV and 9.3μA,respectively,under a solar simulator.The increase in electrical output directly correlated with the intensity of the light pressure impacting the PZT,as well as matched the Raman measurements,finite-difference time-domain simulations,and COMSOL Multiphysics Simulation.Experimental data revealed that the enhancement in electrical output was proportional to the number of hot spots generated between Ag nanoparticles,where the electric field experienced substantial amplification.These results underline the effectiveness of AgNPs/GO units in boosting the light-induced electric generation capacity,thereby providing a promising pathway for high-efficiency energy harvesting devices.
文摘AIM:To investigate the effects of different light intensities and various mydriatic and miotic drugs on pupil accommodation in guinea pigs.METHODS:Forty-two-week-old guinea pigs were randomly divided into four groups to assess pupillary responses under varying light intensities(100,250,500 lx)and pharmacological interventions(1%atropine,1%cyclopentolate,1%tropicamide,or 2%pilocarpine).Baseline pupil size and eccentricity were recorded using a non-contact Python-based imaging system integrating edge detection and pixel-to-distance conversion.Direct illumination effects were measured at sequential time points,followed by drug administration and longitudinal tracking of pupillary changes.The protocol was repeated at 12wk of age for developmental comparisons.Postexperiment,enucleated eyes were analyzed to evaluate in vitro vs in vivo differences.RESULTS:Significant age-dependent differences in pupil dynamics were observed.Both 2-and 12-week-old guinea pigs exhibited marked pupil constriction under direct illumination(P<0.001),with decreased eccentricity post-constriction(P<0.001).Indirect illumination caused inconsistent pupil size changes(2-week:P=0.68;12-week:P=0.49).Pharmacologically,atropine,cyclopentolate,and tropicamide induced pupil dilation(P<0.001),whereas pilocarpine caused constriction(P<0.001).All drug groups showed reduced eccentricity(P<0.001).In vivo/in vitro comparisons revealed significant structural differences.CONCLUSION:This study investigates pupillary responses in developing guinea pigs,revealing a direct pupillary light reflex(PLR)with light intensity-dependent responses,while indirect PLR was undetectable.The differential effects of muscarinic modulators on pupillary responses underscore the critical role of cholinergic signaling in ocular accommodation,with age-related variations in sensitivity.Additionally,a novel non-contact measurement methodology achieved a precision of 0.01 mm for pupillary quantification,enhancing accuracy in ocular studies.

文摘Cellulose frameworks have emerged as promising materials for light management due to their exceptional light-scattering capabilities and sustainable nature.Conventional biomass-derived cellulose frameworks face a fundamental trade-off between haze and transparency,coupled with impractical thicknesses(≥1 mm).Inspired by squid’s skin-peeling mechanism,this work develops a peroxyformic acid(HCOOOH)-enabled precision peeling strategy to isolate intact 10-μm-thick bamboo green(BG)frameworks—100×thinner than wood-based counterparts while achieving an unprecedented optical performance(88%haze with 80%transparency).This performance surpasses delignified biomass(transparency<40%at 1 mm)and matches engineered cellulose composites,yet requires no energy-intensive nanofibrillation.The preserved native cellulose I crystalline structure(64.76%crystallinity)and wax-coated uniaxial fibril alignment(Hermans factor:0.23)contribute to high mechanical strength(903 MPa modulus)and broadband light scattering.As a light-management layer in polycrystalline silicon solar cells,the BG framework boosts photoelectric conversion efficiency by 0.41%absolute(18.74%→19.15%),outperforming synthetic anti-reflective coatings.The work establishes a scalable,waste-to-wealth route for optical-grade cellulose materials in next-generation optoelectronics.

文摘This study developed a novel heterogeneous Vis-Photo+Fenton-like system by integrating visible-light-responsive Co_(3)O_(4)/TiO_(2) photocatalysis with peroxymonosulfate(PMS)activation for efficient atrazine(ATZ)degradation.The synergistic process achieved complete ATZ removal within 60 min under near-neutral pH(6.9),outperform-ing individual Fenton-like(39%)and photocatalytic(24%)processes.Key factors influencing the degradation efficiency included light sources(UV>visible),pH(optimal at 6.9),catalyst dosage(0.01 g Co_(3)O_(4)/TiO_(2)),and PMS:ATZ molar ratio(1:2).The system exhibited a synergistic coefficient of 5.03(degradation)and 1.97(miner-alization),attributed to enhanced radical generation and accelerated Co^(3+)/Co^(2+)redox cycling through photoin-duced electron transfer.Intermediate analysis revealed dealkylation,dechlorination,and oxidation pathways,with reduced toxicity of by-products(e.g.,CEAT,CIAT)confirmed by ecotoxicity assessments.The mineralization efficiency(Vis-Photo+Fenton-like)reached 83.1%,significantly higher than that of standalone processes(Fenton-like:43.2%;photocatalysis:30.5%).The catalyst demonstrated excellent stability(nearly 90%recov-ery,<1μg/L Co leaching)and practical applicability.This study provides an efficient,sludge-free,and solar-compatible strategy for eliminating persistent herbicides in water treatment.

文摘The utilization of phosphors that achieve full-spectrum lighting has emerged as a prevailing trend in the advancement of white light-emitting diode(WLED)lighting.In this study,we successfully prepared a novel green phosphor Ba_(2)Sc_(2)((BO_(3))_(2)B_(2)O_(5)):Ce^(3+)(BSBO:Ce^(3+))that can be utilized for full-spectrum lighting and low-temperature sensors.BSBO:Ce^(3+)exhibits a broad-band excitation spectrum centered at 410 nm,and a broad-band emission spectrum centered at 525 nm.The internal and external quantum efficiencies of BSBO:Ce^(3+)are 99%and 49%,respectively.The thermal stability of BSBO:Ce^(3+)can be improved by substituting partial Sc atoms with smaller cations.The thermal quenching mechanism of BSBO:Ce^(3+)and the lattice occupancy of Ce ions in BSBO are discussed in detail.Furthermore,by combining the green phosphor BSBO:Ce^(3+),the commercial blue phosphor and the red phosphor on a 405 nm chip,a white light source was obtained with a high average color rendering index(CRI)of 96.6,a low correlated color temperature(CCT)of 3988 K,and a high luminous efficacy of 88.0 Im/W.The lu-minous efficacy of the WLED exhibits negligible degradation during the 1000 h light aging experiment.What's more,an emission peak at 468 nm appears when excited at 352 nm and 80 K,however,the relative intensity of the peaks at 468 and 525 nm gradually weakens with increasing temperature,indicating the potential of this material as a low-temperature sensor.

文摘Progressive photoreceptor cell death is one of the main pathological features of age-related macular degeneration and eventually leads to vision loss.Ferroptosis has been demonstrated to be associated with retinal degenerative diseases.However,the molecular mechanisms underlying ferroptosis and photoreceptor cell death in age-related macular degeneration remain largely unexplored.Bioinformatics and biochemical analyses in this study revealed xC^(–),solute carrier family 7 member 11-regulated ferroptosis as the predominant pathological process of photoreceptor cell degeneration in a light-induced dry age-related macular degeneration mouse model.This process involves the nuclear factor-erythroid factor 2-related factor 2-solute carrier family 7 member 11-glutathione peroxidase 4 signaling pathway,through which cystine depletion,iron ion accumulation,and enhanced lipid peroxidation ultimately lead to photoreceptor cell death and subsequent visual function impairment.We demonstrated that solute carrier family 7 member 11 overexpression blocked this process by inhibiting oxidative stress in vitro and in vivo.Conversely,solute carrier family 7 member 11 knockdown or the solute carrier family 7 member 11 inhibitor sulfasalazine and ferroptosis-inducing agent erastin aggravated H_(2)O_(2)-induced ferroptosis of 661W cells.These findings indicate solute carrier family 7 member 11 may be a potential therapeutic target for patients with retinal degenerative diseases including age-related macular degeneration.

文摘To fully utilize the resources provided by optical fiber networks,a cross-band quantum light source generating photon pairs,where one photon in a pair is at C band and the other is at O band,is proposed in this work.This source is based on spontaneous four-wave mixing(SFWM)in a piece of shallow-ridge silicon waveguide.Theoretical analysis shows that the waveguide dispersion could be tailored by adjusting the ridge width,enabling broadband photon pair generation by SFWM across C band and O band.The spontaneous Raman scattering(SpRS)in silicon waveguides is also investigated experimentally.It shows that there are two regions in the spectrum of generated photons from SpRS,which could be used to achieve cross-band photon pair generation.A chip of shallow-ridge silicon waveguide samples with different ridge widths has been fabricated,through which cross-band photon pair generation is demonstrated experimentally.The experimental results show that the source can be achieved using dispersion-optimized shallow-ridge silicon waveguides.This cross-band quantum light source provides a way to develop new fiber-based quantum communication functions utilizing both C band and O band and extends applications of quantum networks.

文摘Far-red(FR) light regulates phytochrome-mediated morphological and physiological plant responses.This study aims to investigate how greenhouse tomato morphology and production response to different durations of FR light during daytime and at the end of day(EOD).High-wire tomato plants were grown under intra-canopy lighting consisting of red(peak wavelength at 640 nm) and blue(peak wavelength at 450 nm) light-emitting diodes(LEDs) with photosynthetic photon flux density(PPFD) of 144 μmol m–2 s–1 at 10 cm away from the lamps,and combined with overhead supplemental FR light(peak wavelength at 735 nm) with PPFD of 43 μmol m–2 s–1 at 20 cm below the lamps.Plants were exposed to three durations of FR supplemental lighting including: 06:00–18:00(FR12),18:00–19:30(EOD-FR1.5),18:00–18:30(EOD-FR0.5),and control that without supplemental FR light.The results showed that supplemental FR light significantly stimulated stem elongation thereby resulting in longer plants compared with the control.Moreover,FR light altered leaf morphology toward higher leaf length/width ratio and larger leaf area.The altered plant architecture in FR supplemented plants led to a more homogeneous light distribution inside the canopy.Total plant biomass was increased by 9–16% under supplemental FR light in comparison with control,which led to 7–12% increase in ripe fruit yield.Soluble sugar content of the ripe tomato fruit was slightly decreased by longer exposure of the plants to FR light.Dry matter partitioning to different plant organs were not substantially affected by the FR light treatments.No significant differences were observed among the three FR light treatments in plant morphology as well as yield and biomass production.We conclude that under intra-canopy lighting,overhead supplemental FR light stimulates tomato growth and production.And supplementary of EOD-FR0.5 is more favorable,as it consumes less electricity but induces similar effects on plant morphology and yield.
