US Patent 11779676 Sanitizing device

A sanitizing device includes a nonlinear optical element, one or more laser diodes, a lens, and a battery pack. The one or more laser diodes are each configured to direct a beam of optical energy to the nonlinear optical element. Each beam of optical energy has a first wavelength and the nonlinear optical element is configured to produce UV-C energy having a second wavelength from the beams of optical energy. The lens is configured to focus the UV-C energy to cover a desired area for sanitizing purposes. The battery pack is configured for powering the one or more laser diodes.
