Cycles works with shaders that describe the interaction with light.

BSDF shaders Describe light reflection, refraction and absorption at an object surface.

A Diffuse BSDF shader does not emit light.

You need a shader that does! So use an

Emission shader

Used to describe light emission at an object surface or in a volume.
