Pictures taken by telescope are filtered one colour at the time. If the filtered out colours could be diverted, those photons could be harvested without interfering with the scientific studies. Of course, it would still not be economically efficient. 162.158.127.100 00:33, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

Yes, a classic beam-splitter was the first color TV cameras. Three camera tubes (probably vidicons?) on the three outputs of two filtering beamsplitters. Later they did it all in one bottle; still later three chips on two beamsplitters. Color TV can be whacky. --PRR (talk) 01:35, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

The wavefunction explanation at the time the electron is generated is "wrong". The photovoltaic cell and the electron get entangled. See Wigner's Friend watching Schrödinger's Cat. Sebastian --172.68.110.188 16:19, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
