<title>Lasers and fiber optics in medicine</title>

Abstract: ABSThACT Characteristics and optical schematics of medical lasers and laser-fiber systems for medicine are considered. A short description of light interaction with different kinds of human biotissues is done. Some examples of lasers and fiber optics applications in diagnostics and therapy are represented.

“…Light is slightly attenuated, mainly in the relatively thin vessel wall, without any influence from other tissues, as it is in other models. The refractive indexes in the typical spectral range of 400-700 nm used for studies are lower for rat mesenteric tissue (n = 1.38) than for rat skin (n = 1.40-1.42) and, especially, for the epidermis (n = 1.55) for humans; thus, it is close to that of water (n = 1.33) [97] . As a result, these optical and geometric features significantly reduce unwanted scattered light, allowing the use of a microscopic objective with a high numerical aperture (up to 1.4) and high magnification (60× -100×).…”

“…This method, which has found wide application in nondestructive testing of materials [9][10][11], is also a promising method of diagnostics in biology and medicine [7,[12][13][14][15]. The method of digital speckle correlation is also suitable for the remote measurement of microdisplacements and speed of various processes [15][16][17].…”

“…One of the most promising technics for the measurement of microdisplacements and deformations is a method of digital speckle correlation [6][7][8]. This method, which has found wide application in nondestructive testing of materials [9][10][11], is also a promising method of diagnostics in biology and medicine [7,[12][13][14][15].…”

“…The safety of these methods and the possibility to get information in real time explain their wide usage and permanent expansion of the application field in medicine [20, 38, 48, [146][147][148][149]. Using optical radiation one can also extract information on the structure, composition, and properties of biological tissues, investigate metabolic processes avoiding negative effect on them [144]. An essential advantage of visible and near-infrared optical radiation is its capability of sufficiently deep penetration into biological tissues.…”

“…Optical methods of diagnosing the condition of biological tissues are widely used in biology and medicine, e.g., for determination of oxygenation degree and blood perfusion [144,145]. The safety of these methods and the possibility to get information in real time explain their wide usage and permanent expansion of the application field in medicine [20, 38, 48, [146][147][148][149].…”
