Photonic steampunk
One idea would be to have a dead end of an optical fiber and
pass by with an attachment chain (over some stretch of the fiber) electronically excited material
in such a way that the dragging by catalyses a radiation emitting electronic de-excitation.
(This could probably be combined with laser like stimulated emission.)
At an other location along the attachment chain the material is electronically re-excited.
Electronically re-excited either by:
- mechanical means (like applying very high pressure) or
- electronic means or
- in any other suitable way.
Note that this approach with a chain only makes sense if in-place-re-excitation is a bottleneck.
(Kinda hope so, transporting metastable electronic excitations on an nanoscale attachment chain sounds kinda cool. Like photonic steampunk)
Long enough phosphorescent decay time needed:
The phosphorescent transition will need to have a long enough decay time to be mechanically transportable
- from excitation-site
- to (catalyzed) de-excitation-site.
Maybe with advanced atomically precise manufacturing capabilities
(and fine tunable unusually large intermolecular forces)
a lot bigger range of phosphorescent systems will be acessible/developable.
(TODO: Investigate design of phosphorescent centers assuming advanced gem-gum technology is available.)
Machine phase preventing photo-bleaching:
Having the photoactive molecules in machine phase may make it possible to avoid "photobleaching" (photoactive molecules taking damage) entirely.
Radio wave generation by mechanically rotating dipoles
(wiki-TODO: Discuss this.)
