Abstract
A laser therapy device includes: a solid-state laser for a CW operation and including a pump source; and a controller for generating at least one first pulse of the laser in a first-pulse operation, the controller switching on the pump source to a pump power level S1 at least once during the first-pulse operation. A rise time E, after which the pump power level S1 of the pump source is attainable and starting from the time the pump source is switched on, is in a range of 50 ns to 350 ns.
Claims6
A laser therapy device, comprising:
- a solid-state laser suitable for continuous wave (CW) operation;
- a pump source configured to excite the laser;
- and
- a controller configured to switch on the pump source and increase, during a rise time E, a pump power supplied to the pump source from a minimum pump power level to a maximum pump power level S1 thereby generating a first pulse of the laser,
- wherein the rise time E is in a range of 50 ns to 350 ns.
