On prospects of creation and introduction of medical optico-electronic devices with use of incoeherent light sources
We present some results of studies and developments of new optico-electronic devices for use in physiotherapy and dermatology and discuss the problem on influence of coherence ratio upon the biological and therapeutic action of radiation. As radiation sources, we chose the high-radiance light-emitting diodes, thermal, and gas-discharge lamps. We developed and introduced into medical practice a number of new light therapeutic devices, and give their functional characteristics.
