Abstract:
1. A laser treatment appliance having an illumination system for use in the field of medicine, includes a laser light source for producing a treatment laser beam, which is guided essentially freely, an illuminating light source for producing a visible light for illuminating an area to be treated, and one or more optical elements via which the treatment laser beam is passed on, at least one of said optical elements being in the form of an optical multifunction element such that the visible light for illumination is also directed at least over this at least one optical multifunction element, further including a means for diagnosis or analysis of radiation which is produced during and by the treatment process, said at least one optical multifunction element also influencing said treatment laser beam and the visible illuminating light by an equivalent reflecting and/or transmitting manner, further including a beam splitter, which extends at least over the entire cross section of the treatment laser beam, for outputting the radiation, and which is arranged between the laser light source and the at least one optical multifunction element in the incidence direction of the treatment laser beam such that the visible light from the illuminating light source does not pass through it.
