that wavelength penetrates the skin. you need to be around 222nm for human safety
uviquity has prototypes of a 220nm solid state chip they’ll commercialize next year (we’re an investor). a single far-uvc photon will destroy the covid virus.
Cool technology, thanks for posting.
The current state of the art UVC (short wave, e.g. 255nm) LEDs have very low efficiency, compared to UVA (long wave, e.g. 365nm). How efficient are these 220nm solid state chips?
Do they emit other frequencies, or are they monochromatic?
