LASER APPLICATOR

A laser applicator includes an optical fiber with a core surrounded by a cladding. The cladding contains openings (40) for coupling radiative energy outward. To accomplish an even distribution of energy, the size of the opening increases from the proximal end to the distal end. The openings (40) are...

More Information
Summary:A laser applicator includes an optical fiber with a core surrounded by a cladding. The cladding contains openings (40) for coupling radiative energy outward. To accomplish an even distribution of energy, the size of the opening increases from the proximal end to the distal end. The openings (40) are combined into groups (45), with the number of openings within a group varying. The openings (40) are of a uniform size so that the area of decoupling (13) can be produced in a simple manner.
