Claim 0:
1. A method of delivering optical light to a target tissue comprising:
providing an optical diffuser assembly comprising:
providing an optically transmissive catheter having an axial length;
fixedly positioning a plurality of light emitting devices within the optically transmissive catheter at a plurality of positions along the axial length adjacent to one another;
selectively addressing the plurality of light emitting devices; and
producing an irradiance pattern for each of the plurality of the light emitting devices at each of the plurality of positions;

providing a light source;
optically coupling the light source to the plurality of light emitting devices;
electrically coupling a processor to the light source;
using the processor to selectively address each of the plurality of light emitting devices;
using the processor to produce an irradiance pattern and a dwell time for each of the plurality of the light emitting devices;
combining the irradiance pattern and the dwell time of each of the plurality of the light emitting devices; and
determining a desired complete target.
