General Introduction
• Photonic components are developing at a rapid rate, thus enabling innovations to be introduced at systemlevel. The areas of application are immense, and photonics today is used in all business sectors: general
lighting, lighting for cars and transport, manufacturing and process control, space, defence and security,health and well-being, electronics for the general public and professional use, communicationsinfrastructures, watchmaking and many others.
• However, to benefit from the possibilities offered by new components and keep up with improvements inperformance requires an in-depth understanding of the requirements of the applications and technological
characteristics, as well as very good system design capabilities.
• Piséo ‘s application and technical reports aim to provide readers with unique information from thestandpoint of the system integrator and designer. Thanks to their comprehensive content, these reports
provide food for thought before the appropriate technical and strategic decisions are taken.
• In this difficult period of Covid-19, we believe it is urgently necessary to provide in-depth information on
the way in which UVC LEDs could contribute to slowing down the spread of the epidemic.
• This report is an update on the first version published in 2020, and is enriched with recent data in thedynamic field of UVC LEDs.

Introduction
• For more than 40 years UV-C light has been used for the disinfection ofwater, air and surface against pathologies dangerous to humans(microorganisms: viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, etc.).
• So far it is mainly low-pressure mercury vapor lamps that have been
used in UV-based disinfection systems.
• With the technological advances of LEDs in recent years and theprospects, as well as regulations limiting the use of mercury in lamps(Minamata convention), UV-C LEDs are becoming a potentiallyinteresting source for disinfection systems based on UV.
UV-C LED is a recent player in the field of UV disinfection.

UV-C radiation disinfection mechanism
The D.N.A. and the R.N.A. contain the geneticinformation specific to the species, information that istransmitted during the reproduction of these cells.
The photochemical reactions created by the absorption
of UV-C energy lead to the creation of distortions in theD.N.A. or R.N.A., making replication of themicroorganism ineffective or impossible.
This results in cell death or the appearance of ageneration of mutants that are non-viable or unable to
reproduce.
UV-C radiation, a real micro-organism killer.
Deterioration of the D.N.A. and the R.N.A.
©PISEO 2021 | www.piseo.fr | Rapport LED UV-C 15
UV-C energy (photons) deteriorates the D.N.A. and the R.N.A. micro-organisms(viruses, bacteria, fungi, etc.), making them instantly incapable of reproducing,and therefore harmless.

In order to determine the dose necessary to render a microorganisminactive, several parameters must be taken into account :
• The nature of the microorganism to be treated.
• The rate of contamination of the medium to be treated.
• The level of disinfection required.
• The wavelength of the source.
• The environment.
Several key parameters.
Fundamental quantitiesDose calculation
©PISEO 2021 | www.piseo.fr | Rapport LED UV-C 16
Under the same UV-C exposure conditions, and toachieve an identical level of disinfection, eachmicroorganism requires a different dose.
Thus, there is no single dose value, dose indications
are provided in the form of tables covering differentmicro-organisms.
To interpret these tables, it is essential to know theexposure conditions which made it possible toobtain these values.
Note: the values given in the tables are the result oflaboratory experiments, for the same micro-organism there can therefore be different valuesdepending on the protocol and the conditions usedby the laboratory which carried out the experiment.

Each micro-organism requires a different dose.
Fundamental quantitiesDose: influence of the nature of the micro-organism

Until now the doses needed to inactive SARS-CoV-2 were estimated using thesimilarity of SARS-CoV-2 with other Coronaviruses known for several years,and for which the doses had been determined by microbiological laboratories.
2 recent studies carried out by laboratories now allow to rely on the results of
experiments on SARS-CoV-2.
Dose values are starting to be available for SARS-CoV-2.

The wavelength 222 nm is increasingly attracting interest as a germicidalwavelength, as according to several studies it would not be dangerous to humanbeings.
In comparison with wavelength 254 nm, wavelength 222 nm is stopped by the
skin’s outermost layer and cannot reach the basal layer of the epidermis.
As far as the eye is concerned, this wavelength is absorbed by the externalaqueous layer, thus preventing the radiation from penetrating inside the eye.
Comparison 254 nm vs 222 nm

The wavelength 222 nm would not penetrate human tissue.

Research carried out using the PatentPulse tool withkeys ["LED" AND ("UVC" OR "UVC")].
The poor current performance of UVC LEDs is adisincentive to adoption of the technology by themarket.
However, this technology has not yet fully matured,
and manufacturers continue to improve theperformance of their UVC LEDs regularly.
An improvement in performance enables the poweremitted to be increased, which is another hurdle toovercome in developing the market for UVC LEDs.
According to the study “The 2020 UV emitterroadmap”(September 2020), UVC LEDs with efficacygreater than 10% ought to be available commerciallyby 2022. This is in line with the 888888 forecasts fortheir portfolio of UVC LEDs.

As UVC LED technology is relativelyrecent, the price of componentsremains high (cost of materials,development costs, low volumes etc.)
However, for several years the price ofUVC LEDs has seen a significant annualdownward momentum which iscontinuing.
In 2021, manufacturers of LEDsreached the threshold of $8.88/mW forsignificant volumes (several hundredthousand items).
The current COVID-19 pandemic hascreated considerable demand and UVCLED manufacturers, facing a shortfall,are adapting their production methodsin order to increase their capacity, afactor which was not predicted untilrecently. This increase in volume oughtto support the trend for pricereductions in UVC LEDs.
