Abstract:
An optical source for guiding light to a target of a patient includes at least one light source configured to emit red light and infrared light. The at least one light source is embedded within a light-conducting sheet. A photodistributor is spaced from the at least one light source. The photodistributor includes a light-emitting surface and at least one light-receiving surface optically coupled to the light-conducting sheet. The photodistributor is configured to discharge at least a portion of the emitted red light and at least a portion of the emitted infrared light into a target.
