Abstract
In various embodiments, energy is harvested from a plurality of photons of received light, each photon having energy below an activation energy threshold of a photon activated process. The harvested energy from one or more of the photons is aggregated until the aggregated energy exceeds the activation energy level. The aggregated energy is then outputted, to e.g. a photolytic power source, a photovoltaic power source or a laser gain media.
