Abstract

Applicator device for laser radiation wherein the end of the radiation conducting light-wave conductor faces toward the object to be treated and is mounted in a tube-like sleeve which is closed and transparent at the end for the laser radiation. The end of the sleeve and/or the end of the light-wave conductor are provided with a scattering device which includes a scattering volume. For this purpose, the application of the scattering medium can be adapted to the particular requirement.
