Abstract
According to an embodiment, an optical fluid processing apparatus includes a first reflector, a light source, a housing, and a heat sink. The first reflector includes a mirror surface. The light source is disposed to face the mirror surface of the first reflector. The housing includes an inlet and an outlet of a fluid. The first reflector and the light source are disposed inside the housing. The heat sink is thermally connected to the light source, and extended along a flow direction of the fluid flowing from the inlet to the outlet. A light beam from the light source includes a wavelength that is configured to inactivate a microorganism in the fluid.
