Ultraviolet decontamination of personal protective equipment, particularly masks, is important in situations where mask reuse is practiced. To assist in the development of UV-C decontamination chambers, Stanford University constructed ray tracing models in OpticStudio for two distinct geometries, namely a rectangular cabinet and a cylindrical can. In this presentation, Dr. Jeff Wilde describes the model details and shows simulation results that compare favorably to experimental measurements.
