Abstract
In the inactivation of pathogens by ultraviolet light, the inactivation rate has been reported to decrease with increasing irradiation dose, commonly known as the tailing effect. In this study, we compared the inactivation effects between CW-LED and femtosecond pulsed laser for developing a new method to suppress such tailing effect. We found that femtosecond pulsed lasers suppressed the tailing effect and inactivated pathogens by more than one order of magnitude in comparison with CW-LED. The results of this study provide a new method for the practical application of bacterial inactivation by ultraviolet light.
