Abstract
The invention relates to the field of controlling the growth of an organism, or a plurality of organisms, such as particularly one more plants. Specifically, the invention is directed to a modulating system for modulating light to which an organism is to be exposed.
Claims26
Modulating system (1) for modulating light to which an organism (O), preferably a plant, is to be exposed, the modulating system (1) comprising:
- a light modulation arrangement (2) (2) comprising one or more light modulation devices (3, 4;
- 30a, 30b;
- 40, 20a;
- 50, 20a), being adapted to modulate, by means of a respective light modulating material, light to be applied to the organism (O);
- wherein the light modulation arrangement (2) is reconfigurable such that there are at least two selectable configurations of the light modulation arrangement (2) each of which causes a respective different modulation of the light (9) to be applied to the organism (O).
The method of claim wherein the data representing at least one environmental condition comprises data representing at least one specific property of a spectrum of incoming light to which the light modulation arrangement (2) is to be exposed to generate the modulated light to which the organism (O) is to be exposed.
