摘要： In one aspect, a method is disclosed of delivering therapeutic light to a treatment region to effect heating in the treatment region. The method includes providing a light emitting diode and driving the light emitting diode to generate therapeutic light during a pulse period. The method further includes directing the therapeutic light to the treatment region at an average power density of about 200 W/cm2 or more at the treatment region during the pulse period and maintaining the light emitting diode in a non-emitting state for a recovery period which is longer than the pulse period.

摘要： Apparatuses and methods are disclosed for applying laser energy having desired pulse characteristics, including a sufficiently short duration and/or a sufficiently high energy for the photomechanical treatment of skin pigmentations and pigmented lesions, both naturally-occurring (e.g., birthmarks), as well as artificial (e.g., tattoos). The laser energy may be generated with an apparatus having a resonator with the capability of switching between a modelocked pulse operating mode and an amplification operating mode. The operating modes are carried out through the application of a time-dependent bias voltage, having waveforms as described herein, to an electro-optical device positioned along the optical axis of the resonator.
