Zusammenfassung:A device for irradiating a fluid contained therein or flowing therethrough. The device comprises a hollow casing having a first end wall and a second end wall. An inlet is provided in the casing between the first end wall and the second end wall for introducing the fluid into the interior of the casing. An outlet is also provided in the casing between the first end wall and the second end wall for withdrawing the fluid from the interior of the casing. At least one element adapted to transmit radiant energy is disposed within the casing and has a first end portion and a second end portion. The first end portion of the element is secured in the first end wall, the outer peripheral surface of the end portion of the element which is secured in the end wall is contacted by a material whose refractive index is equal to or less than the refractive index of the element.
