Protecting the integrity of paper currency and other important financial
documents such as stock & bond certificates against counterfeiting is
fundamental to a sound monetary system. New anti-counterfeiting
measures implement use of watermarks, updated colors, microprinting and
security threads that emit a different color under ultraviolet radiation based
on specifications. US passports and many credit cards have implemented
UV threads and materials in their anti-counterfeiting efforts. Tomorrow’s
technology might include inserting a UV-LED emitter in cell phones that
would allow consumers to validate the integrity of currency.
UV curing uses electromagnetic energy (Photo Energy) to start a chemical reaction known as “photo polymerization”. A mixture of
fillers, wetting agents, monomers, oligimers and photo-initiators create polymer chains when UV light is used. UV curing eliminates
VOCs (volatile organic compounds), promotes healthier and safer work environments, improves manufacturing yields, lowers operating
energy cost with a much smaller UV equipment footprint than traditional methods, and because UV is a “cure on demand process”
working time is more efficient.
The medical analytical instrument market also utilizes UV light sources in fluorescence spectroscopy and Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy.
Fluorescence spectroscopy is a type of electromagnetic spectroscopy which analyzes the fluorescence emitted from a sample being
irradiated and evaluated. The light source is generally UV to excite the electrons in the specimen to emit light of a lower energy level
usually in the visible spectrum. In fluorescence spectroscopy, the sample is excited, by absorbing the higher energy UV light, causing
the sample to move from its ground electronic state to one of the various vibrational states in the excited electronic state. Analysis of
the emission spectrum will permit the identification of the substance (chemical compound, tumor, food processing, cancer tumor).
Fluorescence spectroscopy is also used in forensics and chemical research fields. Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV/ VIS) uses multiple
wavelengths of light in the visible, ultraviolet and near infrared ranges.
