<p>A medical light treatment apparatus (MLTA - 10, 100, 200, 300) for use in the medical treatment of biological structures by application of light energy - particularly laser light energy. The MLTA (10, 100, 200, 300) monitors the light reflected back from the biological structure and boosts the light energy output by the laser (12) to couple a desired amount of light energy into the biological structure to effect a known medical treatment. The MLTA (10, 100, 200, 300) has a self-calibrating monitor to monitor the operational characteristics of the laser (12) and adjusts the driving characteristics of the laser (12) to ensure that the laser (12) operates at a substantially constant wavelength. In such manner the MLTA (10, 100, 200, 300) has very accurate control over the laser (12) and can thus serve as a laboratory grade instrument for use in analysing the further medical effects of the laser (12).</p> |
