When illuminated by laser light, certain elements in phosphors can emit visible light, making them suitable for use in various lighting applications, such as LED displays, lighting fixtures, and signage. The excitation of these elements by laser light causes them to fluoresce, producing visible light.
A packet of light energy is called a photon.
