Abstract
A device and a method for treating the human body is provided. The method includes generating electromagnetic radiation for example laser radiation, passing the electromagnetic radiation through a graded index optical fiber, the graded index optical fiber outputting the modified electromagnetic radiation and applying the modified electromagnetic radiation to the human body.
Claims47
A method of treating the human body, the method comprising:
- producing electromagnetic radiation;
- passing the electromagnetic radiation through a graded index optical fiber, the graded index optical fiber modifying the electromagnetic radiation and the graded index optical fiber outputting the modified electromagnetic radiation;
- and
- applying the modified laser beam to the human body.
A method of treating the human body, the method comprising:
- producing an original laser beam;
- passing the laser beam through an optical fiber, the optical fiber outputting a modified laser beam, the modified laser beam having an intensity distribution which is more towards a Gaussian intensity distribution than the original laser beam;
- and
- applying the modified laser beam to the human body.
A method of treating the human body, the method comprising:
- producing electromagnetic radiation;
- passing electromagnetic radiation the through an optical fiber, the optical fiber having a continuously variable refractive index when measured from the center of the optical fiber to the edge of the optical fiber, the optical modifying the electromagnetic radiation, and the optical fiber outputting the modified electromagnetic radiation;
- and
- applying the modified electromagnetic radiation to the human body.
A device for producing laser treatment for medical application on the human body, the device comprising:
- an illumination source;
- and
- a graded index optical fiber.
