Far-ultraviolet light in the 220 nm wavelength band is suitable as a disinfection light that can be irradiated to the human body. As an inexpensive and efficient light source that can replace excimer lamps or lasers, we have developed a second harmonic generation device that can use a high-efficiency InGaN laser as a fundamental light source. We report on the successful far-ultraviolet light generation demonstrated using two novel wavelength conversion devices: an AlN thin film waveguide with a crystallographic orientation inversion and a SrB4O7 microcavity with a strict reflection phase control and strong optical confinement.
