Summary
This paper investigates passive optical material strategies for spatially modulating the spectral intensity of polychromatic light, with implications for controlling circadian-relevant light exposure in built environments. By targeting the spectral sensitivities of melanopsin-containing ipRGCs and cones, the approach offers a practical method for designing lighting systems that can tune circadian phototransduction without active electronic control.
