Understanding UVC Wavelengths
UVC LEDs operate between 200nm and 280nm. Each wavelength has unique properties.
230nm UVC LED
- Emerging Far-UVC technology
- Lower penetration depth
- Potential for safer applications
265nm UVC LED
- Peak DNA absorption
- Highest sterilization efficiency
- Common in medical systems
280nm UVC LED
- Higher output power
- Longer lifespan
- Widely used in industrial systems
How to Choose the Right Wavelength
Selection depends on:
- Application type
- Target microorganisms
- System design
