Photoinduced photon avalanche turns white objects into bright blackbodies

Abstract An ideal blackbody absorbs all light impinging on it, and it radiates electromagnetic waves with a broad spectrum that depends only on the temperature. Conversely, a white object is characterized by a finite reflectance to visible light, hence being the opposite of a blackbody. Challenging...
