Abstract
A sanitization apparatus includes an excimer lamp and a power converter. The power converter comprises a wide band gap device and a planar inductor. The wide band gap device is selectively switchable between a first mode wherein the inductor is electrically charged and a second mode wherein the inductor is electrically discharged. The wide band gap may be repeatedly switched between the first and second modes to generate a nano second pulse output voltage waveform.
Claims20
A sanitization apparatus comprising:
- an excimer lamp;
- and
- a power converter comprising a wide band gap device and an inductor,
- wherein the wide band gap device is selectively switchable between a first mode wherein the inductor is configured to be electrically charged and a second mode wherein the inductor is configured to be electrically discharged to the excimer lamp.

A power converter for an excimer lamp comprising:
- a wide band gap device switchable between a first mode and a second mode;
- and
- a planar inductor configured to receive an electric power in response to the wide band gap device switching to the first mode and configured to discharge the electric power into the excimer lamp in response to the wide band gap device switching to the second mode.
A method of powering an excimer lamp, comprising:
- switching a wide band gap device from an OFF state to an ON state;
- charging an inductor;
- switching the wide band gap device from the ON state to the OFF state;
- and
- discharging the inductor to the excimer lamp.
