  Well, that does bring to mind another way to do it that some LED and 
Florescent lights use - chemical compounds that excite at one wavelength and 
emit at another.   Various forms of phosphorus compounds are common.   I don’t 
know that they would be specific enough for what Steve was asking for but I 
have seen enough engineering magic in my time to say it’s probably possible.
