Slowing The Spread Of Mold With UV Light
10/25/2021
Mold is among the most annoying and contaminants on food and can even thrive at sub-zero temperatures. But, the situation is different with the presence of UV radiation. Experiments have shown that mold spreads more slowly under radiation between 220 nm and 340 nm.

VCSEL-Illuminating Sensor Technology Goes Mainstream
11/5/2020
VCSEL sensors can act as a combination of an LED and an edge-emitting laser (EEL). Other advantages of VCSEL-based optoelectronic components include packaging convenience performance, providing more information than LED-based sensors, and delivering an order of magnitude lower than LEDs.

UVC LED Disinfection: How UVC Radiation Makes The Coronavirus Harmless
4/3/2020
UVC is high-energy, short-wave radiation with a wavelength range between 100 and 300 nm. It is absorbed by RNA strands of the corona pathogen SARS-Cov-2 and causes their nucleotide sequences to clump together, preventing the cells from reproducing or killing them.
