Our solid state technology will transform disinfection through the generation of far-UVC light to eliminate all known pathogens. Uviquity is the next new way for light to reshape our lives for the better.

Our mission

To revolutionize disinfection through the power of light

We are using our solid-state far-UVC light engines to eliminate pathogens rapidly, continuously, and safely. Our mission is simple: deliver safe, healthy, and disease-free environments by transforming how we protect air, water, and food —without chemicals, waste, or compromises. We envision a world where pathogens are no longer a daily threat, and protection is built into the spaces we live and work.

Founding team

Uviquity was founded by engineers and scientists who have innovated a new disinfecting paradigm. They also happen to be serial entrepreneurs who know how to scale businesses for success. Together they have deep, cross-disciplinary expertise in photonics, semiconductors and the movement of light.

Our technology

Uviquity’s light engine is a wide-bandgap photonic integrated circuit (PIC) that generates far-UVC light. The semiconductor chip uses an integrated 445 nm gallium-nitride blue laser that beams light through an aluminum-nitride waveguide. Using a process called second harmonic generation (SHG), the waveguide doubles the blue laser light frequency to a spectrally pure 222 nm far-UVC output that delivers human-safe, pathogen lethal light that rapidly eliminates all known pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, fungi and mold spores.

Uviquity's single-chip, solid-state architecture integrates seamlessly into standard photonic packages without the bulk, high cost, low efficiency, short lifetimes, and wavelength filters of KrCl excimer lamps or the non-human safe output of UVC LEDs. The result is a compact, low-cost, long-life light engine that enables continuous disinfection of air, food, and water, and can be deployed in occupied spaces like hospitals, classrooms and other public spaces; food growing and processing lines; water purification equipment; consumer appliances, and virtually anywhere else where air-borne or surface-borne pathogens exist.
