TLDR
In this paper, the spectral distribution curve of temperature radiation was shown to be similar to the velocity distribution of the electromagnetic spectrum of a single photon, and the formal similarity of spectral distribution curves to Maxwell's velocity distribution curve was revealed.
Abstract
The formal similarity of the spectral distribution curve of temperature radiation to Maxwell’s velocity distribution curve is too striking to have remained hidden very long.

I. Kautz, +1 more
TL;DR: In den Keimzellen der Lasertechnologie hat sich ein groses Spektrum an Spezialgebieten entwickelt.

Energy and Electron Transfer in Porphyrin-Phthalocyanin-Porphyrin Heterotrimers. A study by Transient Absorption Spectroscopy, Fluorescence Upconversion, and Time Correlated Single Photon Counting.

TL;DR: In this paper, two trimers were quantitatively characterized regarding their intramolecular transfer processes and the rate constants of both investigated trimers in two solvents with different polarity were determined by the combination of data from a variety of measurement methods.

Michelson-Morley experiment, Doppler effect, aberration of light and the aether concept

TL;DR: In this article, the Michelson-Morley experiment is described at rest and in motion with respect to a preferred aether system, first under the assumption of an operation in vacuum, and whether a determination of the laboratory system relative to the aether is possible, is considered either for an operation of the experiment in vacuum or in a medium with an index of refraction not equal to one.

A Note on Light Dispersion Formula and the Development of Modern Physics

TL;DR: In this article, the role of the dispersion formula in the development of modern physics is analyzed and a historical account of its application in quantum mechanics is presented. But the analysis is restricted to the case of the matrix mechanics.

Two points of view on photon: Quantum field theory and photocounts

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss two different approaches to gain insight into the photon nature, which differ radically from those discussed in this paper. But they do not discuss the difference in the estimates of the length of light states that are put into correspondence with photons: laser photons are many orders of magnitude longer than the photons put into correspondences with photocounts.
