Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a multiple light emitter device which inactivates microorganisms. The device includes at least two light emitters and at least one light-converting material arranged to convert at least a portion of light from the light emitters. Any unconverted light emitted from the light emitters and converted light emitted from the at least one light-converting material mixes to form a combined light, the combined light being white. In one aspect, the light emitters include at least one blue light emitter and at least one violet light emitter. In another aspect, the light emitters include one blue light emitter and one emitter within the range of approximately yellow to infra-red light.

Claim (Index 24):
A method for inactivating microorganisms, the method comprising:\n emitting, by at least one first light emitter of at least two light emitters, a first light having a first wavelength in a range of 380 nanometers (nm) to 420 nm and a radiometric energy of at least 20 milliwatts (mW); emitting, by at least one second light emitter of the at least two light emitters, a second light having a second wavelength in a range of 440 nm to 495 nm; converting, based on a first light-converting material arranged in a direct path of the first light, a first portion of the first light having the first wavelength to a third light having a third wavelength different from the first wavelength, wherein a second portion of the first light passes through the first light-converting material unconverted; converting, based on a second light-converting material arranged in a direct path of the second light, a first portion of the second light having the second wavelength to a fourth light having a fourth wavelength different from the second wavelength, wherein a second portion of the second light passes through the second light-converting material unconverted; and forming, based on the first light, the second light, the third light, and the fourth light, white light.
