Laser light is coupled to optical fibers arranged in a sheet, which may be in the form of netting, mesh or fabric. Scattering centers or bends in the optical fibers allow the coupled light to escape from the sides of the fibers. Depending on the selection of wavelengths for the lasers, the resulting luminous sheet may be used for illumination of crops grown in vertical farms. The laser wavelengths excite plant photopigments for predetermined physiological responses, and the light source intensities may be temporally modulated to maximize photosynthesis and control photomorphogenesis responses. Each laser may be independently controlled, and at least one laser may emit ultraviolet-C radiation. The luminous sheet may be used for purification of air flowing through an air duct.

Techniques for horticulture light are provided. A horticulture light can monitor at least one characteristic of a defined region in which at least one plant is planted in a horticulture environment in which horticulture light bulb is installed, determine at least one action for the horticulture light bulb to perform based on a state of the at least one characteristic and at least one objective of the installation of the horticulture light bulb in the horticulture environment, and execute the at least one action.

The present invention relates to the technical field of plant cultivation through artificial light, and particularly provides a light environment method for plant cultivation through full-artificial light to provide a full-artificial light source for plant growth. The light source includes a light wave with a waveband of 620 nm to 760 nm, and the number of photons of the light wave of 620 nm to 760 nm accounts for 64% to 76% of the total number of photons of the light source. Compared with traditional light sources, such as existing fluorescent lamps and high-pressure sodium lamps, the present invention adopting a mode of light source proportion and light source combination can greatly improve the yield of the plant. Compared with a traditional LED lamp light source proportion scheme, the light source proportion scheme of the present invention has the advantages that the waveband of a selected light source is more precise, the influence caused by other plant growth parameters is small, and a more targeted effect is achieved in the process of promoting plant growth. By using the precise combination and proportion of the precise waveband of the light wave, a peak wavelength and a photon proportion, the present invention can more precisely control a plant growth effect, and thereby promoting the plant growth.
