An excimer bulb assembly including an excimer bulb and a pass filter such that the excimer bulb assembly does not emit substantial UV radiation in wavelengths longer than 231 nm, 232 nm, 233 nm, 234 nm or 235 nm. The wavelengths are measured at an incident angle of zero (0) degrees to the filter plane. The pass filter is preferably constructed of a plurality of layers of hafnium oxide, and most preferably constructed of less than seventy five (75) layers of hafnium oxide. The excimer bulb, pass filter, and two electrical connectors may be adapted to form a cartridge which may be adapted to swivel along its main axis. The cartridge may further include a smart chip. The smart chip may retain and store information regarding the assembly and preferably retains hours of use of the excimer bulb.

A light filtering assembly is installed in a lens module, including a fixed mount having a hollow part, a light filter at the hollow part, a shutter annularly disposed on the light filter, and a binding element. The hollow part is annularly formed by a support part extending from the fixed mount toward the hollow part. A first binding space is formed between the support part and the fixed mount, extending the outer periphery of the light filter and the shutter into the first binding space. An adhesive material is injected into the first binding space, and is then cooled down to form the binding element in the first binding space, so as to stop the light filter and the shutter at the hollow part as well as fix the light filter and the shutter on the fixed mount.

The present invention provides a deep ultraviolet radiation apparatus that is safe and has a high bacteria eliminating effect.

The ultraviolet radiation apparatus comprises an optical filter that prevents the transmission of ultraviolet light of 240 nm or more emitted from a phosphor, wherein the optical filter is arranged facing light emitting surfaces of a gas-discharging tube array-type surface-emitting ultraviolet light source device comprising phosphor layer having a broad emission spectrum with a wavelength width of at least 210 nm to 250 nm with a peak wavelength of 228 nm. Light irradiated from the light source device is incident on a filter membrane with an incident angle thereof being altered by a transparent substrate of the optical filter. An ozone generation space may be formed between the surface-emitting ultraviolet light source device and the optical filter.
