Abstract

A laser therapy device includes a solid-state laser configured for a CW operation and including a pump source, and a controller configured to generate at least one first pulse of the laser in a first-pulse operation. The controller is configured to switch on the pump source to a pump power level S1 at least once during the first-pulse operation. A rise time E, after which the pump power level S1 of the pump source is attainable and starting from the time the pump source is switched on, is in a range of 50 ns to 350 ns.
