COMPANY
BEAM Technologies is a startup from RIKEN that develops optical semiconductor devices. It provides clean solutions to various problems related to the ecosystem using special light.
TECHNOLOGY
RIKEN, a prominent research institute, has achieved a groundbreaking milestone by becoming the first in the world to develop an LED that emits Far-UVC light (wavelength: 200-230 nm) with an output of 1 mW. This specialized light offers exceptional germicidal properties while remaining safe for macroorganisms. Far-UVC LEDs hold immense potential for providing novel and clean solutions in various applications, including disinfection of occupied spaces, maintaining and improving air quality, preventing diseases in crops and farmed fish, and inactivating allergens.
