Abstract: A portable air sterilization apparatus includes a portable chamber forming an interior volume, a portable source for producing a single beam of collimated light energy, and a rotating beam redirector. The portable chamber includes a first end for introducing air into the chamber, a second end for permitting air to exit from the chamber, a transparent orifice through which a single beam of collimated light energy can be introduced into the interior volume of the chamber; and at least one reflective wall. The rotating beam redirector is adapted to rotate through a complete revolution about a rotational axis and to redirect the single beam of collimated light energy within the chamber during said revolution.
