Ultraviolet beams are an efficient means of water purification or sterilisation. LG Innotek, industrial partner of Laser Components, have introduced UVC modules with water resistant (IPX7) and waterproof (IPX8) housings. They can be applied close to or even in liquids, thus providing highly efficient purification and low dispersion losses.
Both modules are equipped with SMD LEDs emitting at 278nm and feature an optical power of 2mW. They require just 12 VDC power sources. With sizes of only a few centimetres they can easily be integrated into a vast diversity of applications.
