Abstract

A laser beam emitted from a laser is divided into a plurality of beams and the divided beams are introduced into respective fiberoptics. Each beam is transmitted through the corresponding fiberoptic and projected from the exit face of the fiberoptic, where the beams are synthesized to form a light spot. The affected part of a patient to be treated is exposed to the light spot.
