Abstract
A flow through photochemistry apparatus and methods of use are disclosed in the present application. One or more reactant materials are passed through a reaction chamber and are exposed to electromagnetic radiation. The reaction chamber has reflective walls arranged to reflect electromagnetic radiation across the volume of the chamber a plurality of times, thereby increasing the probability of the electromagnetic radiation interacting with the reactive materials. The reaction chamber may be used for sterilization and photochemistry applications.
Claims23
An apparatus for reflecting an incident ray of electromagnetic radiation comprising:
- a dielectric mirror formed by plurality of layers of dielectric materials arranged in a stack;
- wherein the dielectric mirror comprises a plurality of separate dielectric mirror components each formed by plurality of layers of dielectric materials arranged in a stack;
- the mirror components being mounted on a flexible supporting substrate with each mirror component movable relative to the next to follow a flexing movement of the substrate.
