The Far-UVC
ShortWaveLight 215™ Emitter Module
NS Nanotech's ShortWaveLight™ 215 Module integrates the world's highest-energy far-UVC light source with a small, lightweight power supply in a modular design for easy installation in close-quarters disinfection applications. It is a compact, affordable, solid-state far-UVC light source ideally suited for human-safe disinfection of office cubicles, school buses, ambulances, taxicabs, airplanes, and countless other occupied spaces. Modules are available for developers at a single unit price of $350.
The NS Nanotech ShortWaveLight 215 emitter is connected to a slim, custom power supply by a set of wires in a product module designed to provide maximum flexibility for designers of far-UVC disinfection applications.
Sample Desktop Emitter
for
Application Developers
NS Nanotech has also designed its own full-function prototype sample desktop product that makes it easy for application developers to perform photobiological or performance testing. A black sphere, comparable to an Amazon Echo or Apple HomePod speaker, integrates the ShortWaveLight 215 Emitter module, runs on a standard 12-volt power source, and sits smartly on a desktop. It also has a standard connection for a tripod mount. Desktop spheres are available for developers at a single-unit price of $500. For more information or to purchase a sample, contact our worldwide head of business development, Victor Hsia.
Compact, Cost-Effective
Solid-State
Photonic Disinfection
The ShortWaveLight 215 Emitter lamp is approximately two inches wide by three inches high, about the size of a small bathroom nightlight.​ And because it is a semiconductor-based, solid-state product, the ShortWaveLight 215 Emitter is smaller, runs cooler, and will be less costly than the krypton-chloride gas-plasma excimer lamps currently used for far-UVC disinfection. It is a new light source that opens the door to new exciting solutions from developers of air, surface, and water disinfection applications.
The ShortWaveLight 215 Emitter integrates a nitride semiconductor that emits far-UVC solid-state light at 215 nanometers for disinfection applications
Human-Safe Far-UVC
215-Nanometer Light
The ShortWaveLight 215 Emitter draws on our years of work on advanced nitride semiconductor technology (the "NS" in our company name). It is the world's most efficient solid-state source of human-safe short-wavelength "far-UVC" photonic disinfection. A thermionic electron-beam cathode and proprietary nitride semiconductor emit far-UVC disinfecting light capable of deactivating many of the world’s most dangerous pathogens that cause Covid, influenza, RSV, measles, TB, bird flu, and many other potential deadly viral infections. Generating light at 215 nanometers, it is the world's highest-energy semiconductor light source. ​​​​​
Future Nanoscale LEDs
for
Far-UVC Disinfection
The NS Nanotech ShortWaveLight 215 Emitter is a steppingstone on our path to nanoscale semiconductor-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that emit invisible far-UVC light. NS Nanotech's R&D lab is undertaking a multiyear development effort to deliver the world's first nanowire-based far-UVC LEDs—a generational advance that will reduce the size and lower the cost of current LEDs. Over time, nanowire LEDs will have the potential to make far-UVC disinfection ubiquitous in the same way inexpensive, long-lasting visible LEDs replaced incandescent light bulbs everywhere. ​​​
Academic Research on
Far-UVC Safety, Efficacy
Research has shown that far-UVC light deactivates pathogens safely and effectively. Several Columbia University reports, including one in Nature, and one of many Kobe University studies, explain these advantages in detail. ​​​​​
