It is reported that the laser device will operate at the wavelength of the ultraviolet spectrum C (UVC), which is the shortest of all forms of UV radiation. "In UVC, the shortest wavelength and the highest energy. The reason it is useful is that, unlike longer waves, it does not penetrate deep into the skin, but provides disinfection and protection against viruses," the UCF researcher explained with UCF Laland Nordin.
Nordin is tasked with creating a UVC laser, which will work for at least 10,000 hours. Modern UV lasers have a limited service life and can work at best for one hour. To optimize the performance of the laser, the scientist intends to use a number of new approaches. Prescribe says that the US Army will be able to use these lasers to communicate outside the direct area of direct visibility, as well as to detect chemical or biological weapons and explosives.
In addition, technology can be useful for removing viruses from surfaces and sterilization of water. It can be used in hospitals, treatment plants and even private homes. "Imagine this technology is related to a smart home technology. You can click the button and you are not at home, the technology can disinfect your room for you," Land nordin said.
Recall that the US will soon start the construction of a new research complex, where a modernized version of a powerful laser, developed at the University of Colorado, in combination with two new lasers provided by Marvel Fusion will be posted. It was also reported that scientists have made significant progress in the "ignition" of thermonuclear synthesis, using 192 lasers, a tiny golden cylinder, a diamond capsule with Deuterium and Tritium, copying the conditions that are in the sun.
