ULTRAVIOLET (UV) LIGHT EMISSION DEVICE EMPLOYING UV LIGHT SOURCE HOUSING TO ACHIEVE UV LIGHT EMISSION IRRADIANCE UNIFORMITY

摘要

Ultraviolet (UV) light emission devices employing UV light source housing to achieve UV light emission irradiance uniformity, and related methods of use. The UV light emission devices disclosed herein are particularly suited for use in disinfecting surfaces and air. The UV light emission devices disclosed herein can be provided in the form factor of a handheld device that is easily held and manipulated by a human user. The human user can manipulate the handheld UV light emission device to decontaminate surfaces, air, and other areas by orienting the handheld UV light emission device so that the UV light emitted from its light source is directed to the area of interest to be decontaminated.
