Optical Design Applied to an Effective Inactivation of Airborne Pathogens

See http://tny.im/pOP — The inactivation or airborne pathogens inside closed spaces is a critical issue that raised overwhelmingly during the current SARS-CoV 2 pandemic. Among the different technologies to achieve air sanification, the ultraviolet germicidal irradiation is a trending technique, also due to the fast development of more and more effective ultra-violet LED sources, that are expected to replace the mercury vapor lamps in the next few years. The positioning of LEDs inside cavities with highly reflective surfaces permits an enhancement of the internal irradiance and the development of compact devices. Optical simulations, by means of ray tracing, are…
