Patent attributes
Provided is a compact ultraviolet irradiation device in which a degree of an adverse effect on the human body is suppressed. The ultraviolet irradiation device includes: a lamp house on the surface of which a light extraction surface is formed; an excimer lamp accommodated in the lamp house, a main emission wavelength of which belongs to a first wavelength band of 190-225 nm; an optical filter that is arranged on the light extraction surface and substantially transmits the ultraviolet light in the first wavelength band and substantially reflect the ultraviolet light of a wavelength of 240-300 nm; and a reflecting surface that is a surface located outside the luminous tube of the excimer lamp and inclined with respect to the light extraction surface, the reflecting surface exhibiting reflectivity with respect to the ultraviolet light in the first wavelength band.
