How optical designers can realise the benefits of using freeform optical elements from the R&D stage when designing for illumination applications
Gemma Church finds out how Lambda Research’s optical modelling software is accelerating UV sterilisation system design
Current worldwide conditions have brought a renewed focus on ultraviolet or UV based sterilization systems. UV light has been shown to kill many types of pathogens. A key metric is the dose, or amount of UV light on a surface, as a minimum dosage level is required for effective sterilization. Using optical analysis software as part of the design process ensures that these minimum dosage levels are obtained.
