Abstract

First, this article reviews the experimental and theoretical studies of dressed photons (DPs), carried out in the last three decades. It is pointed out that future theoretical studies can be developed by following three steps. Second, it is proposed how to proceed in the first and second steps by describing a unique DP energy transfer process. As an application of this transfer process, novel functional devices are demonstrated. The DP energy transfer in these devices is shown to exhibit an autonomous spatial evolution feature. A temporal evolution feature is also revealed. Another application is a highly efficient optical energy conversion film that gives a drastically increased electrical power generation efficiency of a silicon solar battery. Lastly, in order to identify the requirements for future theoretical studies, this article reviews how to proceed in the third step by employing a fiber probe. Among these requirements, an essential requirement is to describe the autonomy mentioned above and also the hierarchy observed in DP measurements. To meet the requirements, novel theoretical approaches are reviewed for developing a new field known as off-shell science. These approaches are based on Clebsch dual field theory, the quadrality scheme in category theory, and a novel measurement theory.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Figure 1.28 shows that the efficiency saturates when the UV light intensity is higher than 0.2 W/m\(^2\). Since the UV light component in sunlight is higher than 0.2 W/cm\(^2\), this saturation is advantageous for the solar cell battery application to be reviewed in Sect. 1.7.3 because the conversion efficiency is maintained constant even if the incident sunlight intensity may vary from hour to hour during daytime.
