Soraa Inc of Fremont, CA, USA, which develops solid-state lighting technology fabricated on 'GaN on GaN' (gallium nitride on gallium nitride) substrates, has announced the availability of an expanded collaboration program for its patented white-light disinfection technology. This technology is based on Soraa’s violet LEDs, which can be used to provide disinfection while also delivering natural white light.

CEO Jeff Parker cites Soraa’s portfolio of patents in bactericidal LEDs used for white-light generation and disinfection, a portfolio that includes patents dating back to at least 2009. The program is further buttressed by Soraa’s recent acquisition of foundational GE patents on GaN LEDs, dating back to 2001.

“We are extremely proud of our early inventions in this space, and are actively engaged in partnerships with key players in the field that will leverage our expertise with violet LEDs,” says Parker. “These unique lighting solutions give us the ability to help usher in a new era of ‘white light’ disinfection in an effort to create healthier environments.”
