Abstract
A multi-spectral photon converting imaging apparatus and method are disclosed. A plurality of photons in a first received band and a plurality of photons in a second received band are received by a first nanoparticle photon conversion material. The first nanoparticle photon conversion material converts the plurality of photons in the first received band to a plurality of photons in a first converted band, and the plurality of photons in the second received band to a plurality of photons in a second converted band. An image sensor receives the plurality of photons in the first converted band and the plurality of photons in the second converted band, and generates a digitized image of the scene based on the plurality of photons in the first converted band and the plurality of photons in the second converted band.
