An optical probe has multiple side-firing optical fibers which terminate in a linearly staggered fashion. A central fiber can be used as well. In dia gnostic techniques, one fiber can be used as an emitter, while the others ar e used as receivers, or various fibers can be used as emitters and receivers at different times to form a map of the area. In therapeutic techniques, th e treatment light can be emitted from the fibers in parallel or in sequence, and the fluence can be independently adjusted for each of the fibers.</SDOA B>
