Patent number: 9517490Abstract: An irradiation device including at least one radiation source, which emits both UV-radiation and W-radiation, i.e. visible light and/or IR radiation. The device includes a transport device for delivering substrates to be irradiated. At least one wavelength-selective filter reflects UV-radiation at an angle of 45° and transmits W-radiation. Means for the absorption of IR radiation are arranged downstream of the optical filter in the propagation direction in the beam path of the W-radiation not deflected by the wavelength-selective filter. The means for the absorption of IR radiation are also designed to absorb visible light and UV rays, and the irradiation device includes movement means in order to guide the wavelength-selective filter into and out of the beam path of the radiation source.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2013Date of Patent: December 13, 2016Assignee: OERLIKON SURFACE SOLUTIONS AG, PFAFFIKONInventors: Carlos Ribeiro, Tasso Karsch, Rüdiger Schäfer, Martin Kaspar
