TLDR
In this paper, a fiber optic bundle is used to intercepting radiation reflected from the lesion at an intensity corresponding with the color intensity of the region at which the beam is directed.Abstract:
A laser for directing a nominally 5 micron wavelength beam at a hemangioma or other variegated lesion. A fiber optic bundle for intercepting radiation reflected from the lesion at an intensity corresponding with the color intensity of the region at which the beam is directed. The output beam from the fiber optic bundle modulates a photodetector stage whose amplified output drives a galvanometer. The galvanometer shaft is coupled to the shaft of a potentiometer which is adjustable to regulate the laser power supply and, hence, the laser output energy level so laser beam energy is reduced when high absorption regions in the lesion are being scanned by the beam and increased as low absorption regions are being scanned.read more

Cooling system for a photo cosmetic device
TL;DR: In this paper, a photocosmetic device for use in medical or non-medical environments (e.g., a home, barbershop, or spa), which can be used for a variety of tissue treatments.
Patent
Light energy delivery head
TL;DR: In this paper, a light energy delivery head is provided which, in one aspect, mounts laser diode bars or other light energy emitters in a heat sink block which is adapted to cool both the emitters and a surface of a medium with which the head is in contact and to which it is applying light energy.

David C. Auth,Robert F. Rushmer +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a photocoagulating scalpel system including a scalpel having a sharp, transparent blade for forming an incision, and a laser optically coupled to the blade for coagulating blood adjacent the incision is presented.
Patent
Safety device for laser endoscope - has beam directed onto converter connected to comparison circuit to test radiation level before use
TL;DR: The laser endoscope safety and control system ensures that the instrument is operating correctly, e.g. if the optical system is obscured as mentioned in this paper. But this is not the case for all endoscopes.
