[0001] The present invention relates to Advanced Oxidation Technologies (AOT) using laser triggered and driven AOT platform.

[0002] More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for the advanced oxidation of dangerous chemical and biological sources suspected in particular regions. The present invention further relates to the various uses of said method, and environments where it is useful.

[0003] The present invention further relates to various embodiments of systems and devices using the method of the present invention, and to a bubble generator useful and adapted for implementation of the method in various sites where treatment procedures according to the method are required.

[0004] Scientist, engineers, bio-technologists, and producers, and end users have been searching for years for a non invasive disinfection technology, such technology which does not require any physical contact with the medium to be treated, and thus may provide a solution in manufacturing sites, mass production of bottled mineral waters, and food, drink, and beverages industries around the world. Further more, the type of non invasive treatment technologies available today include: Gamma rays, X rays, Y rays, photons, radio waves, micro-waves, and several types of ionizing radiation. These available non invasive instrumentation are often dangerous, expensive, and require substantial periodical maintenance and replacements. Furthermore, instrumentation using such ionizing radiation types, require sophisticated support means, and infrastructure safety measurements, further complicating design criteria, and implementation. Several of these radiation types have already confirmed as causing cancer, and public confidence in these technologies at manufacturing plants is declining. Stringent legislation, and standards further fuel the need for alternative, safer, more economical methodologies for non interfering treatment. Conventional chemical technologies are limited since there is always the need to clear the liquids, and gases (of the harmful chemicals), and remove them from the specific volume to be consumed (i.e. after disinfection, or purification have occurred) once they have finished their useful cycle, or their disinfection, and oxidation activities. Recent activities in solid state electronics, lasers, and advanced polymer for optronics, laser pumping architectures, all have contributed to production of light sources small enough to be incorporated, or integrated (FIG. 1, 1-30) into system in close proximities to bottles, lids, corks, packaging production processes, and wide variety of packaging for foods, drinks, and many biotechnology products, and applications.

All have further contributed to much higher levels of biocompatibility, and interconnectivity, and interoperability to commercial mass production environments.

[0005] As introduced in the field of the invention, the subject of the present invention includes environmental protection, and the protection of public health, and tools associated with domestic industrial, medical, engineering and environmental fields, using pulsed power technology in the UVA/B/C. The driving principle behind the technology is synchronized control of the time domain in which appropriate dose of light is delivered into specified geometry, or predetermined surface area causing specific electro-optical effects. More specifically, the present invention discloses a novel methodology for surface disinfection, and purification, and for dimensional treatment platform, by facilitating the catalytic formation of radical species (such as OH*) barrier technology (CFRS), a layer which upon triggering turns to fire wall (thus preventing passage through of noxious species due to the short duration of time Fs in which the catalytic processes occurs) made out of multiple layers of highly radical species, lasting extremely short fraction of time, for the purpose of forming photoreactive layer wherein the preferred mode for advance Catalytic Oxidation, Electro catalytic Oxidation, photolysis, and photo dissociation (of upper surface layers of medical instrumentation, as well as actual damaged tissues of the Human body) occurs.

[0006] More specifically, the present invention facilitate the provision of a protective photoreactive barrier technology (PPRBT), by means and utilization of light, liquid, gasses, and optronic time domain triggering (such as can be produced by high peak power high rep, rate uv lasers) the present invention is beneficial in cases wherein external cuts may hinder physiological activity, and may lead for infection, or further complications. Further more, the present invention facilitate phototreatment of surfaces faster then any previous methodology in the field by using photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, and hybridazation techniques. The novel methodology of he present invention facilitate the protection of large areas from harmful effects of contact with bacteria, or from contact with noxious or poisonous species.

[0007] By calibrating the action spectrum (i.e. absorption, transmitance, transparency, refractive index, or refractive index profile of the air/body, air/instrument, liquid or gas encapsulating layer (i.e. the layer barrier between the surface of the actual instrumentation or body surface, and enterinmg/triggering beams of pulsed light, and the required coupling of light to the surface to be treated, thus taking into account specie specific wavelength interactions of the laser light (source used in accordance with the methodology of the present invention), the present invention offer economical solution using energy efficient methodology, and extremely safe operation procedures, requiring no skill operators, or special complex hardware procedure. The method of the present invention is simple to implement, and include fully automatic procedure management, so easy integration intro already made set up is simplified, and conserve time and energy during integration, installation, and operation procedures.

[0008] More specifically, the method of the present invention by using for example, a pulsed, high repetition rate, high peak power laser light sources, facilitate the formation of high energy density zone through which liquids, or gasses carrying contamination, or may be penetrated by invading antigens, are thus treated according to the methodology of the present invention.

[0009] One best mode among the many utilizing the method of the present invention is especially beneficial for disinfection of wide variety of medical instrumentation.

[0010] Further more, the methodology disclosed by the present invention offer solution for medical procedures requiring short working cycles, and thus offer important benefits in terms of shorter duty cycles, faster processing time, safer inactivation/Dissociation effectiveness, and important capital savings due to the novelty of the methodology of the present invention for photocatalytic protection of medical instrumentation or surfaces, or dimensions, or volumes by using UVA, UVB, UVC light produces by high repetition rates, high peak power lasers.

[0011] Modern society encapsulating a wide diversity of cultures, and professional occupations has often created population unrest, exposing challenges to leaders in search of peace, prosperity and positively charged commercial interactions.

[0012] Certain factors effecting the depletion, and contamination of natural water AND air resources, population expansion, global warming, modern, competitive world of man often riddle with socioeconomic positioning, conflicts in need of resolutions is presenting challenges associated with a diversity of eventualities requiring proficient, and capable technologies. Scientific, engineering, and industrial producers, and end users are engaged intensively in the search for new innovative technologies capable of offering solutions. Several evolutionary steps towards technologies that surpass limitations imposed by currently used chemical methodologies, and backed by trends and progress in such fields as solid state electronics, electro-optic fabrication techniques, photo-chemistry, photo-catalysis, and photo-electro-catalysis and laser technologies. When combined expertise in these fields are extrapolated against the geographical locations factor for different nations of the world, and population concentration driven by interests of accessibility to natural resources (such as water and air), and in the context of often-destructive and sinister nature of certain industries engage in the preparation of noxious species, from biological and/or chemical origins. Awareness is growing rapidly, that such noxious species may be used against fellow man illegally.

[0013] In view of the above scientists, engineers, technologists, producers, and end users have all been searching for the perfect technology able to offer adequate protection of bio-terrorism, and terrorist attacks using unconventional weapons.

[0014] The present invention disclosed a novel methodology wherein the destructive effects of such threatening eventualities are minimized, and or eliminated in situ, in real time and for wide variety of terrain and applications. More specifically, the methodology of the present invention discloses method and related devices for the protection of mankind, animal and live stock, key building installation, metropolitan areas, and large surface, volume or dimension areas in almost any geometrical utilization required for specific applications. The methodology of the present invention challenge strict limitation imposed by use of current chemical, radiation means, or temperature sterilization techniques. Current methodologies use mainly chemical disinfectant (applying, spraying, or distributing) formulated with toxic compounds capable of damaging the treated area as well as the noxious species within it. A single perfect chemical disinfectant for all eventualities of contamination (or cross contamination) does not exist, as it will have to poses so many features at once, however, even in the event that a multi components suspension, and complex chemical compounding volumes will in most cases facilitate the formation of toxic residual effects, DBPs (Disinfection By Products). Currently used chemical agents (or reagents) accumulate, and can penetrate the surface of the ground, reaching natural water resources, and under-ground aquifers, when above ground, these compounds may endanger living beings, animal and plants. More specifically, given the chemical toxic nature, or biological noxious threatening aspects of these compounds, associated relevant transport, storage and application delivery aspects are often cumbersome, expensive, and require highly skilled human resources and infrastructure for safe, prolonged, and repeatable industrial operation. Effective operability, interconnectivity, and interoperability is thus difficult to achieve with currently used technologies. Radiation chemistry has already proven that Gamma rays, electron beams, and conventional mercury based UV lamps fail to provide adequate protection against the diversity of geometries involved, and for reason of feasibility and practicality. Currently used UV lamps (medium pressure, low pressure, LPHO (Low Pressure High Output) cannot provide efficient disinfection, sterilization or dissociation capabilities due to their polychromatic spectral nature. More specifically, mercury (the principle means for generating UV from lamps is already recognized as extremely toxic substance, and it is a self limited technology. More specifically, the more pressure a UV lamp contain, the higher the energies that could be generated from the lamp, however the actual energy the lamp will produce will almost not include any UV (more pressuremore power, but no UV at output), lower pressure will yield less power, but much more relevant UV at output.

[0015] In contradistinction to conventional, currently used technologies in the field, the non chemical, non toxic methodology of the present invention is not so limited, that why the method of the present invention and devices using same, could be used for wide variety of applications in numerous fields offering open architecture modular design platform for maximum adaptability and rapid response to threatening eventualities involving liquids, gases, solids and surfaces. More specifically, the methodology of the present invention facilitate the formation of highly reactive species created by light and the photochemical interaction of said light with a proprietary non toxic multi-component compound for photo-catalytic rapid reduction, oxygenation, and effective chemical chain reactions which swiftly mineralizes, and dissolve, eliminate, an inactivate said noxious species, and thus turn them into more innocuous manageable forms.

[0166] In the context of the present invention The following terms included to improve the understanding of photochemistry the specific context have been selected for benefits of clarity and familiarization.

Physical Constants of interest in Ultraviolet and Photochemistry means

[0167] Further Characteristics of light and context explanatory notes are herewith included:

[0168] In the context of the present invention Planck Law of Radiation means in the context of the present invention:

[0169] Light which has both particle and wave properties. It is transmitted in discrete packets of energy (photons) and yet has a frequency and wavelength. The connection between these two properties is embodied in the Planck flaw of Radiation

[0170] In the context of the present invention Photochemical wave changes means in the context of the present invention:

[0171] In the context of the present invention The usual wavelength range in Photochemistry is 100-1000 nm. Light photons with wavelengths longer than 1000 nm have a photon energy too Small to cause chemical change when absorbed, and photons with wavelengths shorter than 100 nm have so much energy that ionization and molecular disruptions characteristic of radiation chemistry prevail. The total In the context of the present invention photochemical wavelength range is divided up into bands with specific names as given below.

[0172] In the context of the present invention Spectral ranges or interest in Photochemistry means in the context of the present invention:

	Range Name	Wavelength
	Near Infrared	700-10000
	Visible	400-700
	Ultraviolet
	UVA	315-400
	UVB	280-315
	UVC	100-280

[0173] Little photochemistry occurs in the Near Infrared. Except for some photosynthetic bacteria. Which are capable of storing solar energy at wavelengths out to 980 nm. The Visible range is completely active for photosynthesis in green plants and algae. Also many dyes can undergo photochemical transformations themselves or sensitize reactions in other molecules. Most studies in photochemistry involve the Ultraviolet range. The division into three sub-ranges UVA, UVB, UVC is connected with the human skin's sensitivity to ultraviolet light. The UVA range causes changes in the skin that lead to sun tanning. The UVB range can cause sun burning and is known to eventually induce skin cancer. The UVC range is extremely dangerous since it is absorbed by proteins, RNA and DNA and can lead to cell mutations and/or cell death. The UVC range is sometimes called the germicidal range, since it is very effective in inactivating bacteria and viruses. The Vacuum Ultraviolet range is absorbed by almost all substances (including water and air). Thus it can only be transmitted in a vacuum. The absorption of a VUV photon causes one or more bond Breaks. However, even though photons with wavelengths less than 561.6 nm are capable of splitting the H202 molecule, no photolysis, or proteolysis occurs in this wavelength region because H202 does not begin to absorb ultraviolet light until below 300 nm. This illustrates the first Law of Photochemistry; namely that no photochemical reaction can occur unless a photon/s of light is absorbed.

[0174] In the context of the present invention Coherent and incoherent light means Light sources used in photochemistry can either be coherent (all emitted photons are in phase with each other as they propagate) or incoherent (all emitted photons have random phases). All lasers emit coherent radiation and usually at one wavelength. The dispersion is very small so that a laser beam remains at or near its original diameter as it propagates; the light emitted by all other light sources is almost always incoherent. Most of these sources are either hot element sources (e.g., the incandescent light bulb) or plasma sources (e.g., a fluorescent light tube).

[0175] In the context of the present invention Point sources, means Light sources have finite dimensions (e.g., often a cylindrical shape). Emission from such a source is difficult to treat mathematically. It is convenient to mode these sources as a collection of point sources, in which all light is emitted from the point equally in all directions. The optics treatment for point sources is especially simple.

[0176] In the context of the present invention The Terms and concepts associated with the emission of tight, are herewith included for clarity of explanation and to simplify the understanding of the method of the present invention, especially wherein photochemistry is involved, or photochemical polishing is active in the processing according to the present invention:

[0177] The light emitted from a source can be viewed in many different ways. In this Section, the various terms that may be used to describe this emission are defined and explained.

[0178] In the context of the present invention Radiant energy means:

[0179] Radiant energy (Q) is a total amount of radiant emission (J) from a source over a given period of time,

[0180] In the context of the present invention Radiant power means:

[0181] The radiant power (P) of a source is the rate of radiant energy or total radiant power (W) emitted in all directions by a light source. For example, the radiant power of the Sun is 3-8421026 w, in theory, P, should include all wavelengths emitted by the source; however, is usually restricted to the wavelength range of interest to photochemistry. For example, if a light source were being used for ultraviolet photochemistry, P would be specified for emission in the 200-400 nm ultraviolet ranges.

[0182] In the context of the present invention Radiant power efficiency means:

[0183] The radiant power efficiency (q) is defined as

[0184] Where e is the input electrical power (W) supply.

[0185] Radiant emittance or excitance means:

[0186] The r Radiant emittance or excitance of a source is the radiant power emitted from an infinitesimal area on the surface of the source.

[0187] In the context of the present invention Radiant Intensity means:

[0188] The radiant intensity (I) (W sr{circumflex over ()}(1)) is the total radiant power P emitted by a source in a given direction about an infinitesimal solid angle.

[0189] Radiance means:

[0190] Radiance (L) is defined as the radiant power d²P, emitted from an infinitesimal area dA of the source surface in a given direction about the solid angle di, divided both by the solid angle di) and the orthogonal projected area.

[0191] The emittance M from an infinitesimal surface element dA is obtained by integrating L in spherical polar coordinates over the hemisphere of all outward-bound directions above dA.

[0192] An isotropic light source is defined as one in which the radiance L is uniform over all

[0193] Outward directions. Terms and concepts associated with the receipt of light When light is emitted from a source, it radiates outward at the speed of light, when it impinges on an object, it may be reflected, transmitted or absorbed. There are several terms that relate to the receipt of light.

[0194] Fluence Rate means:

[0195] Fluence Rate (E) (W m{circumflex over ()}(2) is the radiant power of all wavelengths passing from all

[0196] Directions through an infinitesimally small sphere of cross-sectional area d, divided by

[0197] CM

[0198] Irradiance means:

[0199] Irradiance (symbol E; units W m{circumflex over ()}(2) is defined as the total radiant power of wavelengths incident on an infinitesimal element of surface of area as containing the point under consideration divided by as. The following are some important points regarding characteristics and differences between irradiance and fluence rate:

[0200] Examples: For a parallel and perpendicularly incident beam, not scattered or reflected, irradiance and fluence rate becomes identical. For any UV source within a three-dimensional volume, the integration of UV irradiance over the interior surface of the volume yields the UV power of the lamp., This is not true for UV fluence rate.

[0201] The appropriate term for UV disinfection is UV fluence rate because a

[0202] Microorganism can receive UV power from any direction, especially when there is more than one UV lamp in the vicinity. In general usage, the irradiance or fluence rate may be expressed as MW cm{circumflex over ()}(2). The irradiance is often incorrectly termed light intensity see the proper definition of radiant intensity above.

[0203] Light dose or fluence means:

[0204] The light dose or fluence (symbol H, units J m2) is the total radiant energy of all

[0205] Wavelengths passing from all directions through an infinitesimally small sphere of cross-sectional area dA, divided by dA It is given by the average fluence rate times the exposure tune in seconds. The term UV dose is often used in UV disinfection literature. It represents the UV exposure of a given organism in the germicidal range.

[0206] Spectral units means:

[0207] All of the terms for tight emission or incidence refer to all relevant wavelengths. One can define spectral derivatives for each of these terms. For example, the light power emission of a LIV lamp is often expressed as the spectral power (W nm{circumflex over ()}(1), defined as the power output in a narrow wavelength band divided by the width of the band. The solar spectrum received at the Earth's surface is described in terms of the solar spectrum irradiance. Also the spectral distribution of a lamp emission is often given an a plot of spectral power versus wavelength.

[0208] Photon based units means:

[0209] Photochemistry involves the interaction of photons of light with molecules and means: the definitions units that are based on photons.

[0210] Photon irradiance, photon fluence rate and photon flow means:

[0211] Each of the spectral terms can be convened to a corresponding equivalent photon flow and fluence rate ' by dividing the term by the average photon energy in the narrow wavelength band.

[0212] Quantum yield means:

[0213] The quantum yield (unites) Q is a measure of the photon efficiency of a photochemical reaction, e Is defined as the number of moles of product formed or reactant removed (P) per Einstein of photons absorbed

[0214] Line sources means:

[0215] When atoms are raised to an excited state, they emit only in very narrow lines with

[0216] Virtually no emission between the lines. The low-pressure mercury lamp is a very Common lamp of this type. Table 3 gives the wavelengths and relative emittance for the emission lines of a low-pressure mercury vapor lamp.

[0217] Certain radiation units and associated light sources, (lasers) and lamps emit at longer wavelengths, This is the basis of the very popular fluorescent lamp.

[0218] For example, The emission lines of a mercury lamp are only sharp when the pressure of the gas is low (<10 tore). If the pressure is increased, the lamp can carry much more power, but the emission lines broaden. For the same length of lamp (about 120 cm), a medium pressure lamp (pressure about 1000 tore) can carry up to 30,000 W. These lamps are very common in commercial Systems utilizing ultraviolet light. FIG. 5 shows a comparison of the emission of low pressure and medium pressure lamps in the ultraviolet region.

[0219] Excimer lamps means:

[0220] Excimer lamps arc unique in that they emit in a narrow band of wavelengths. An excimer is an atomic dimmer that is stable only in the excited state and dissociates on decaying to the ground state. Table 4 gives the wavelengths of sonic of the common excimer lamps.

[0221] Examples: Emission wavelengths (or some common excimer lamps

	Excimer	Wavelength (nm)	Excimer	Wavelength (nm)
	Xe2	172	XeCI	308
	KrCI	222	I2	342
	CI2	259

[0222] Flash lamps

[0223] Flash lamps are similar to continuous wave (CW), but could also operate in (PW), pulsed mode operation, and are lamps that consist of a cylindrical quartz tube with electrodes at each end and filled with a ga. (e.g. xenon). A power supply fires' the lamps by discharging a large amount of electrical energy in a very short period of time (several us) by applying a very high voltage (10-30 kV. The resulting plasma reaches temperatures of 10,000-13,000 K and the emission is essentially that of a blackbody (see FIG. 4). In commercial flash lamp Systems the lamp, a typical flashed about 30 times per s, but given a special electronic pulsing circuitry is added, repetition rates could reach Khz regime.

[0224] FEL means Free Electron Laser and its derivatives, wherein space charged technologies (such as the Electrostatically Accelerated Free Electron Laser) include an electronic pulsing circuits, charging, or an accelerator (Such as R.F. Linac) is involved in the production of photons (around 100, 000,000 photons per electrons, in contradistinction of a conventional crystal based laser having around 1 photon per electron, it is a laser which have less maintenance associated with its operation and its wall plug efficiency is reaching around the 40-51% respectively, and respectfully of the exact pumping geometry used.

[0225] The term EAFEL means Electrostaticely Accelerated Free Electron Laser and is an extremely efficient laser pumping geometry wherein recycling of the Accelerated electrons is being performed by utilizing deceleration techniques and its wall plug efficiency is estimated to reach in access of the 55% (amount of light being produced or converted from the electricity being consumed for its operation.

[0226] Biologically enhanced or photo-chemically polished drinking water or breathing air means any liquid or gas which have been passed through or processed by the method of the present invention such as water and/or air), more specifically such processes involved in the polishing and enhancing may include; Optical inactivation, disinfection, inactivation of DNA and/or RNA replication sequences, Photocatalysis, electro catalysis, a hybrid of photo and electro-catalysis, optical dissociation, physiological dissociation, biomass expansion, filtration (pre/post), physical separation and sorting, reactivation, activation, sonication, acoustics, electroacoustics, electro-optical treatment (by photons of light), transgressing, or transversing said liquids and gasses through a photonic band gaped wave guides having an aerobic, non toxic passage for light and liquids or gasses or combination together, synchronously and or separately.

[0227] Peak power means, the energy generated when squeezing (i.e. such as when pulsing) electromagnetic energy in short duration of time, for example: a pulse of a given average energy and powerlasting, or having a pulse width of around 1 second (1s) will generate several watts in peak power, a pulse lasting or having width of microseconds (ms) will generate peak powers reaching the kilo-watts scale, while a pulse lasting nano (ns) seconds will generate peak powers reaching into the hundreds of million of watts which is especially beneficial for purposes such as optical dissociation, optical inactivation, optical polishing, and optical secretion and spectroscopy for control and diagnostics, so in short the shorter the pulse duration the higher its respective peak power.

[0228] Multi-photonabsorptionprocesses means a processes which when harnessed could be very beneficial for the photochemistry involved in the processing according to the present invention, for example when 10 mj of energy (250,000 photons) are projected into a liquid or gas, the time it takes this projection is very important, if these photons will be furnished over 1 second time domain, then it leaves sufficient time for the electrons in said liquid or gasses, to relax back to the relaxed state, but if we apply these photons in a time domain of 5 nano seconds, then we do not leave time for the electrons to relaxed and the processes is called Multiphoton absorption processes, this processes are non linear in nature and yield much higher quantum yield, or efficiencies, or speed of the reactivation, or a more efficient methodology for optical treatment, processing and polishing

[0229] A hybrid of light sources means plurality of light sources and wherein their total spectral emitence, or total spectral distribution, or their total irradiance will cause multiphotonic absorption processes by means of super imposing their time domain (example: 1 light source is slow1s pulse duration, and additional light sources are very fast5 ns laser for example), their total irradiance is great and beneficial for the processes of the method of the present invention to occur efficiently, further more, such hybridization could includes, lamps and lasers, lasers and flash lamps, or any combination of CW, or PW type of light source working together, in synchronisity, and or sequentially or link or resolved by time domain manipulation for maximizing photonic interaction in matter, especially beneficial for triggering th catalytic scintillating elemental compound according to the present onvention.

[0230] Photo catalysis means: The use of energy of a photon of light to catalyze chemical reactions. More specifically, such reaction may include the decomposition of water into hydrogen, and oxygen, and the complete oxidation of organic contaminants in aqueous environments. More specifically, the first step in Photocatalysis is for the catalyst material to absorb photon of light in order to excite an electron from the velance band (VB), to the conduction band (CB), thus creating electron-hole-pairs. Each Species must then migrate to the surface before recombination occurs. If this condition is met, the electron can be transferred to a surface adsorbed molecule, reducing it. The overall process is illustrated, it is important to note that for the processes to occur efficiently (preventing pre-matured recombination of the said electron-hole pairs), the rates of reduction, and the oxidation must be comperable. The position of the band edges is critical for each step of the process, a photocatalyst material which is stable in water is tio2,(or known as Titanium Oxide).

[0231] Electrocatalysis, similar to that explained in photo-catalysis, but instead of photons, an electrical charge is used, through the use of semiconductor material which has been specially selected (its band gap) for the charge applied, for the context of the present invention an electrocatalysis, stable in water is I.T.O, or known in its chemical name and signature Indium Tinoxide). Further more, it is especially beneficial to combine, and operate both electrocatalysis, and photo-catalysis simultaneously, or serially, or sequentially or in unison, or each separate catalytic is triggered separately in order to maximize the collective efficiencies, thus harnessing and improving the performance of current and future catalytic technologcal evolution according to the methodology of the present invention.
