-The main factor influencing the light quality is the light's spectral composition, commonly called colour. Thus, the compositions of different intensities of different wavelengths form the final light spectrum or colour. Below are the light spectra of typical sunlight, of common HPS lamps (high-pressure sodium lamps), as used for instance as additional light sources within greenhouses, and a red LED lamp.+The main factor influencing light quality is the light's spectral composition (of which the part visible to the human eye is often simply referred referred to as colour).

-Note: The implementation essentially allows setting individual limits for min and //maxLambda//, extending the range of the visible light spectrum to include infra-red and ultra-violet. When the wavelength deviates significantly from visible light, ray optics is no longer the most adequate tool for describing the flow of electromagnetic radiation, as other effects become significant. Therefore, from a physical point of view, the results will no longer be meaningful. One reason for this choice—the default range of 380-720 nm—is that the model uses Smith's conversion from RGB colours to full spectra. This conversion assumes that the whole spectrum is somewhat covered by the RGB colour, thus restricting the spectrum to the visual range. But if your model uses only spectral colours as inputs, then the interval could safely be extended. +Note: The implementation essentially allows setting individual limits for min and //maxLambda//, extending the range of the visible light spectrum to include infra-red and ultra-violet.

-The spectral range //[minLambda, maxLambda]// can be divided into a user-defined number of equally-sized so-called buckets—sub-channels. They can be one, taking the whole range as one channel—which, in my opinion, would not make much sense—or can be as large as the number of integer wavelengths of the range, leading to 1 nm buckets if desired. Common numbers of buckets range from 5 to 30, but this totally depends on the application. Below is an example of a 380-720 nm spectrum divided into 20 buckets, each with a 17 nm range.+The spectral range //[minLambda, maxLambda]// can be divided into a user-defined number of equally-sized so-called buckets—sub-channels.

-==== Sensor nodes ==== 
- 
-To monitor light distributions with a scene without interfering, GroIMP provides the //SensorNode// class, a sphere that can be placed arbitrarily within the scene. To obtain the sensed spectrum, the //getSensedIrradianceMeasurement// function needs to be called. 
- 
-Note: The size of the sensor node directly correlates with the probability of got hit by a light ray. For a very small sphere the probability to got hit by a light ray is relatively low, so the number of light rays simulated by the light model needs to be much larger to get repayable results. Therefore, better not to use very small sensor nodes. 
- 
-Note: The colour of the sensor node determines which wavelengths should be observed. The default value is white, what stands for monitor all colours. If, for instance, the sensor colour is set to red, only red spectra will be sensed. 
- 
-Note: The output of a sensor node is normalized to absorbed radiance per square meter, independent of the actual size of the sensor.  
- 
-Note: Sensor nodes can be enabled and disabled for the light model using the LM.setEnableSensors(true/false) function. By default they are disabled, since GroIMP version 2.1.4, before they were enabled by default. Having them disabled speeds up the light computation time for scenarios where not sensor nodes are involved.  
- 
-<code java> 
-// create a 5cm, white sensor node 
-Axiom ==> SensorNode().(setRadius(0.05), setColor(1, 1, 1)); 
- 
-//check what the sensor node has sensed

-    Measurement spectrum = lm.getSensedIrradianceMeasurement(x); 
-    float absorbedPower = spectrum.integrate();

 +==== Dispersion ====
 +
 +The GPUFlux light model also supports the simulation of dispersion effects – the phenomenon where light separates into its constituent colours due to variations in the reflective index with wavelengths. Different wavelengths of light refract (bend) at different angles when passing through a medium like glass, causing the colours to separate. Essentially, shorter wavelengths like violet and blue bend more than longer wavelengths like red.
 +
 +As default the simulation of dispersion is turned off - to speed up calculations - but can be enabled in the preferences of the GPUFlux light model or within the code as following:
 +
 +<code java>
 +FluxLightModel LM = new FluxLightModel(RAYS, DEPTH);
 +
 +// enable dispersion
 +LM.setDispersion(true); // default: false
 +</code>
 +
 +
 +When enabled and applied to a scene containing some ‘diamonds’ (imported OBJ objects), one can generate things like shown below (Henke and Buck-Sorlin 2018):
