Abstract: The present invention utilizes a system of primarily metallic pairs of mirrors, at 90° angles to each other and at 45° angles to the conduit axis, which cover only one inner wall of a fluid conduit in a parallel arrangement, while the other walls are simply mirrored. The useful radiation from e.g. UV light-emitting diodes comes through small breakthroughs in the valley bottom between two mirrors of a pair concentrated into the conduit. The double reflection in the pairs of mirrors sends the radiation back to where it came from in each section of the conduit—at least the axial component—while at the same time a lateral offset of the beams causes a chain reflection around the walls of the conduit, although this only in a defined area takes place, which has approximately the same extent as the beam cone of the light source on the opposite wall, which is also slightly concave in order to achieve better bundling of the rays. The radiation level in the delimited section intensifies even more chain reflections can take place.
This makes it possible to achieve considerably high irradiation values in the conduit even with a relatively weak UV light source and thus ensure very effective disinfection of the fluids contained therein.-

Abstract: A light guide comprising a polymeric layer at least 25 percent transmissive over at least a 30 nm bandwidth in a wavelength range from 180 to 280 nm over a distance of at least 100 micrometers and visible light transparent reflecting layers (UV-C mirror) that are at least 50 percent reflective over at least 30 nm bandwidth in a wavelength range from 180 to 280 nm over an incident light angle of 0 to 90 degrees and that are at least 25 percent transmissive of visible light over at least 30 nm bandwidth in a wavelength range of 400 to 800 nm over an incident light angle of 0 to 90 degrees. The light guide is useful, for example, for antimicrobial surfaces.

Abstract: An assembly for redirecting light emitted by an end-emitting optical fiber into an inner lumen of a body is provided. According to one implementation, the body includes one or more surfaces disposed on or in the body onto which the light is configured to impinge when the end emitting optical fiber is activated, the one or more surfaces being configured to alter the trajectory of the light so that the light is directed to impinge on a light reflector of a cap removably attached to the body, the light reflector of the cap being configured to redirect the light distally into the inner lumen of the body.

Abstract: A self-sanitizing surface structure configured to selectively refract light, a method of fabricating a self-sanitizing surface configured to selectively refract light, and a method of decontaminating a surface using selectively refracted light. A waveguide including a support layer below a propagating layer is positioned over a substrate as a self-sanitizing layer. In the absence of a contaminant or residue on the waveguide, UV light injected into the propagating layer is constrained within the propagating layer due to total internal reflection. When a residue is present on the self-sanitizing surface structure, light may be selectively refracted at or near the interface with the residue along the side of the waveguide to destroy the residue. The self-sanitizing surface structure may be configured is to refract a suitable amount of UV light in response to a particular type of residue or application.

Abstract: Building blocks are provided for on-chip chemical sensors and other highly-compact photonic integrated circuits combining interband or quantum cascade lasers and detectors with passive waveguides and other components integrated on a III-V or silicon. A MWIR or LWIR laser source is evanescently coupled into a passive extended or resonant-cavity waveguide that provides evanescent coupling to a sample gas (or liquid) for spectroscopic chemical sensing. In the case of an ICL, the uppermost layer of this passive waveguide has a relatively high index of refraction that enables it to form the core of the waveguide, while the ambient air, consisting of the sample gas, functions as the top cladding layer. A fraction of the propagating light beam is absorbed by the sample gas if it contains a chemical species having a fingerprint absorption feature within the spectral linewidth of the laser emission.
