Optical radiaton - photobiology • UltraViolet radiation: actinic radiation • UV-A: 315 m – 400 nm • UV-B: 280 nm – 315 nm • UV-C: 100 nm – 280 nm • Visible radiation: 380 nm – 780 nm • Infrared radiation • IR-A: 780 nm – 1400 nm • IR-B: 1.4 mm – 3 mm • IR-C: 3 mm – 1 mm
LED emission • LEDs now available from 245 nm • Visible wavelengths + white • Near infrared – optical communication • LED spectrum bandwidth: 20 nm – 40 nm
