Abstract

A laser therapy device includes: a solid-state laser for a CW operation and including a pump source; and a controller for generating at least one first pulse of the laser in a first-pulse operation, the controller switching 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.
