  • Abstract
    “Cold” light, the theoretically ideal conversion of electrical energy into light, is still some distance from attainment, being rendered unattainable largely because of a lack of complete theories of the production of light. A summary of the present knowledge in this field and an indication of future possibilities and lines of attack are presented in this article.
