Abstract

Recently, there has been an increased interest in germicidal ultraviolet (GUV) lamps for disinfection. Despite extensive studies on GUV LEDs, their efficiency and cost per Watt is still far from that of mercury lamps due to electrical injection issues, among others. Also, the fact that 254 nm radiation is highly carcinogenic and cataractogenic, has motivated research on radiation with shorter penetration (200-230 nm) depth, for non-invasive disinfection. In this study, we propose electron pumped UV lamps as an alternative to LEDs (to tackle electrical issues) in the spectral range 230-330 targeting both wavelength ranges of disinfection and exhibiting IQE ranging from 20%-50%.
