Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a light source for sterilization which is small, consumes little electricity, has a long life, can sterilize a large area with a simple construction, can be suitably used at standard home and in the field of medicine, and is also expected to dramatically broaden its field of application as a small, high-power and portable light source for sterilization. SOLUTION: The light source for sterilization includes: a light-emitting substrate which comprises a transparent substrate of quartz, quartz glass, fluoride glass, calcium fluoride or the like and a thin film layer of metal fluoride such as CaF2doped with calcium fluoride, barium fluoride or praseodymium (Pr); and an electron beam source such as a thermal-electron gun, a field emitter or the like. It generates light including deep ultraviolet light with wavelengths of 200-320 nm which is useful as sterilizing light by irradiating the metal fluoride layer of the light-emitting substrate with electron beams.
