ABSTRACT
As the COVID-19 pandemic was overtaking the world in the spring of 2020, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) began collaborating with the National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center to study the inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 after exposure to different ultraviolet (UV) and blue light wavelengths. This paper describes a 1 kHz pulsed laser and projection system used to study the doses required to inactive SARS-CoV-2 over the wavelength range of 222 to 488 nm. This paper builds on NIST's previous work for water pathogen inactivation using UV laser irradiation. The design of the laser and projection system and its performance in a Biosafety Level 3 (BSL-3) laboratory are given. The SARS-CoV-2 inactivation results (published elsewhere by Schuit, M.A., et al., expected 2022) demonstrate that a tunable laser projection system is an invaluable tool for this research.
