Thanks to their unique properties, excimer lamps are employed across a variety of fields, driving efficiency and innovation. Below are some of the most notable applications:

Disinfection

Excimer lamps emit UV-C light, known for its germicidal properties. UV-C radiation effectively neutralises bacteria, viruses, and other harmful microorganisms by disrupting their DNA. This makes excimer lamps ideal for:

• Sterilising air, water, and surfaces in healthcare facilities, laboratories, and public spaces.
• Enhancing safety in critical environments such as operating rooms or cleanrooms.

Photochemistry

The intense, precisely controlled UV light produced by excimer lamps is perfect for driving photochemical reactions. Applications in this field include:

• Surface modification for improved adhesion or hydrophobicity.
• Curing coatings and inks, a fast and efficient process used in industrial manufacturing.
• Polymer cross-linking, which enhances material properties in advanced engineering applications.

Semiconductor Manufacturing

Excimer lamps are pivotal in the production of advanced semiconductor devices. They enable:

• Laser ablation (photo ablation): A process that selectively removes ultra-thin layers from silicon wafers with incredible precision.
  This accuracy is critical in creating intricate circuitry for today’s high-performance electronics.

Environmental Monitoring

Excimer lamps are used in analytical instruments that measure trace concentrations of specific elements or compounds, making them invaluable for:

• Environmental monitoring to track pollutants in air or water.
• Air quality control to ensure compliance with health and safety standards.
• Pollutant analysis, helping scientists identify harmful substances in the environment.
