Total Internal Reflection of Deep-Ultraviolet Light in a Water Waveguide and Its Application to Water Disinfection Technologies

We propose a new disinfection technology based on a novel concept involving the use of a small, deep-ultraviolet light-emitting diode (DUV-LED); the 265-nm DUV light is coupled to a running-water stream and is guided to a distant position without diffusion due to the total internal reflection of the...
