The principle of luminescence of the infinite abyssal mirror

The concept of the “Mirror of the Infinite Abyss” (or “Mirror of the Infinite Abyss”) does not have a standard definition in modern science. It may be a setting in artistic design, science fiction, or a metaphor for some specific physical experiment/optical phenomenon.

If we assume that the “Infinity Mirror” is some kind of device capable of generating or reflecting light, and we hypothesize about its “luminescence principle” in the context of physics and optics, we can consider the following aspects:

  1. Reflection and refraction of light: If the surface of the “mirror” is designed to refract or reflect light, then its luminescence principle may depend on the specificity of the surface material, such as the use of optical mirrors or reflective materials, or even fiber-optic technology to transmit light.
  2. Interference of light: In some cases, if the surface of a mirror can be microstructured (e.g., using nanotechnology), the surface may reflect or emit light of a specific frequency through interference effects, resulting in a certain “luminescence” effect.
  3. Optical Resonant Cavities: Similar to the resonant cavities used in laser devices, some specialized mirror devices may be designed to enhance the reflection of light, creating a laser-like beam or a continuous luminescent effect.
  4. Excitation light source: If the “mirror” itself contains some kind of light source (e.g., fluorescent material or electronic excitation source), then its luminescence may come from the energy conversion process of these materials. The source of excitation may be an external light source, an electronic excitation, a chemical reaction, etc.
  5. Visual effects caused by mirror refraction: In some science fiction works, the so-called “infinite abyssal mirror” may be through multiple paths of refraction and reflection, creating the visual effect of infinite depth and never-ending. This effect may not be a true “glow”, but rather a perception of light or reflection through clever visual design.
