Nagoya University scientists, in cooperation with Asahi Kasei Corporation, have succeeded in designing a laser diode that emits deep-ultraviolet light, according to research published in the journal Applied Physics Express.

Laser diodes that emit short-wavelength ultraviolet light, which is called UV-C and is in the wavelength region of 200 to 280 nm, could be used for disinfection in healthcare, for treating skin conditions such as psoriasis, and for analysing gases and DNA analyses .

I can see this being incorporated into autoclaves, as well as disinfecting surgical and ICU units.

When i was working with TB cultures we used U/V light to disinfect an enclosed extractor hood when finished. Found out later that it could have some effect on health. (Not eyes) cannot remember exactly what now. These hoods are often used with infective material.
