This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240050608 titled 'A DISINFECTION SYSTEM COMPRISING AN OPTICAL ARRANGEMENT FOR A FAR UV LIGHT SOURCE TO FILTER OUT UNDESIRED WAVELENGTHS

==Simplified Explanation==

The invention is a radiation generating system that includes a radiation unit consisting of a light source, a first collimator, and an optical arrangement. The light source generates radiation with a specific spectral power distribution at two different wavelengths. The first collimator collimates the light source radiation, and the optical arrangement converts the collimated radiation into arrangement radiation, which is also collimated. The optical arrangement includes a second collimator and an optical filter. The second collimator and the optical filter are positioned in relation to each other, and the optical filter has a higher transmission for one wavelength compared to the other when irradiated at a specific angle. The first wavelength is selected from the range of 190-230 nm, and the second wavelength is selected from the range of 100-190 nm or 230-280 nm. The second collimator is defined by light radiation transmissive channels, which are made of a light-absorbing material that absorbs part of the collimated light source radiation.
