Portable Wavelength Transforming Converter for UV LEDs

Abstract

This invention provides a small form factor apparatus for selectively producing one or more of a plurality of wavelength distributions of radiation, comprising a UV Light Emitting Diode (LED) as the primary UV LED radiation source and one or more wavelength transforming (WT) materials separated from the primary UV LED radiation source, that in response to irradiation by the primary UV LED radiation source, produce transformed radiation having a wavelength distribution that is different from the wavelength distribution of the primary UV LED radiation source. None, one, or more than one of the various WT materials may be selected by the user, to allow either the primary UV radiation, or the transformed radiation, or both simultaneously, to be to be emitted from the apparatus in a preferred direction.
