Claim:
1. A phototherapy device comprising: a hemispherical shell; an optical fiber wrapped to form a three dimensional shape and embedded within the hemispherical shell, the optical fiber having a first end and a second end; a laser diode optically coupled to the first end of the optical fiber; a reflector disposed at the second end of the optical fiber, aligned to reflect light incident upon the reflector at the second end of the optical fiber toward the first end of the optical fiber; a photodetector optically coupled to the optical fiber to monitor light reflected from the reflector and provide a signal corresponding to the intensity of the reflected light; a control system operably connected to the laser diode and the photodetector, operable to control the laser diode and operable to receive the signal corresponding to the intensity of the reflected light; and wherein the control system is programmed to control the laser diode in response to the signal corresponding to the intensity of the reflected light.
