  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-013699",
  "term": "Wavelength converter",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A device or material that absorbs electromagnetic radiation at one wavelength and re-emits it at a different wavelength. These converters are often used to shift radiation into a more convenient or detectable spectral region. Examples include phosphors that convert UV light to visible light, or scintillators that convert X-rays to visible light for detection.",
