    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for treatment, such as skin rejuvenation treatment, use non-uniform laser radiation. A high-intensity portion of the laser radiation causes collagen destruction and shrinkage within select portions of the treatment area, while a lower-intensity portion of the radiation causes fibroblast stimulation leading to collagen production across other portions of the treatment area. An output beam from a laser source, such as an Nd:YAG laser, is coupled into an optical system that modifies the beam to provide a large-diameter beam having a nonuniform energy profile, comprised of a plurality of high-intensity zones surrounded by lower-intensity zones within the treatment beam. The higher-intensity zones heat select portions of the target tissue to temperatures sufficient for a first treatment (e.g. collagen shrinkage), while the lower-intensity zones provide sufficient energy for a second treatment (e.g. stimulated collagen production). A large area of tissue, preferably 7-10 mm in diameter, can be treated simultaneously, while minimizing the risk of burning or other damage to the skin. In one embodiment, the invention uses a fiber bundle to provide a non-uniform energy output beam, hi another embodiment, the invention uses a diffractive lens array to produce the non-uniform output beam. A cooling system can also be integrated with the laser treatment system. A pulse light source can also be integrated with the laser treatment system in a combined skin rejuvenation therapy.

    Abstract: A fiber optic probe (110) is provided that includes a housing (160), at least one optical fiber (120) disposed within the housing, one end of each of the at least one optical fiber being disposed adjacent an opening in the housing forming a probe face, a binding agent (130) that binds the at least one optical fiber within the housing, and a protective coating (150) sealingly covering the probe face to prevent contaminants from contacting the at least one optical fiber. A method for protecting a fiber optic probe having a housing, at least one optical fiber being disposed adjacent an opening in the housing forming a probe face, and a binding agent that binds the at least one optical fiber within the housing, includes polishing the probe face to create a substantially flat probe face, cleaning the probe face after polishing the probe face and sealing the probe face with a protective coating.

    Abstract: Laser systems medical or cosmetic applications, comprising diode lasers or diode lasers with other solid state lasers which can deliver up to 30 cw or more, and which generally operate at more than wavelength within the range of 1000 to 1300 nm are presented. Individual emitter or emitter groups within the diode laser system can be powered independently. These laser systems provide maximum penetration depths for procedures such as Laser-induced Interstitial Tumor Therapy, alone or in conjunction with other therapies such as Photo-Dynamic Therapy, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy. Where beneficial for the procedure, the operating wavelength of the system can be changed without interruption. In some variants, active tissue cooling at the distal end of the delivery fibers is incorporated as well as individual feedback loops to control and stabilize the temperature induced in the tissue. To enhance thermal or photo effects and thereby increase efficiencies, absorbers can be administered and the laser system tuned to the specific absorption band of the absorber.

    Abstract: A bundle of fibers is employed to concurrently produce a plurality of channels (14a-14c) through the myocardium of a heart and into its left ventricle wherein each fiber (2) receives laser energy in its proximate end, has its distal end placed against the myocardium, and pressed through it upon the application of laser energy into the fibers; the individual fibers are constrained to follow different paths through the myocardium. The different paths may be parallel (19a-19e) or divergent (16a-16e).
