An electron beam excites a phosphor target with a reflective film to generate mercury-free UVC with controlled emission for sterilization.
Electron-driven far-UV generation targets germicidal wavelengths with enough intensity for disinfection while avoiding harmful UV exposure to human cells.
Electron impact and target-material tuning generate 150-250 nm UV light with sterilizing intensity while avoiding harmful wavelengths to human cells.
Alkali metal halides or carbonates are mixed into YPO4:Sc powder before sintering to retain alkali content and raise UV emission intensity.
An ellipsoidal cathode shape within a bulb-shaped envelope optimizes electron emission geometry for field emission lighting applications.
A luminescent glass element incorporates a structured metal layer to induce surface plasmons and boost internal quantum efficiency.
