Abstract
Light disinfecting systems are provided in which light emanating from an end or side of optical fibers is used to disinfect a target site. According to one implementation a light beam emanating from an end emitting optical fiber is directed into a body that includes a plurality of optical surfaces that are configured to direct at least a portion of the end emitted beam of bacterial disinfecting light to the target site. The assembly may further include a substrate coupled to the body, the substrate including one or more channels in which reside one or more radially emitting optical fibers that are configured to radially emit bacterial disinfecting light towards the target site, the substrate being at least partially transparent to the bacterial disinfecting light.
