Patent ID: 8608787

Claim:
A device for irradiating tissue with light pulses, comprising a housing, at least one light source for emitting the light pulses with a single peak wavelength of from 600 nm to 660 nm, a modulator and a power stage for generating the light pulses, and with an activating element, wherein the modulator for generating the light pulses is designed with a pulse frequency of from 1 to 10 Hz, and in that the power stage for generating the light pulses is designed with a peak power density of ≧50 mW/cm 2 , based on the pulse duty factor, and in that the energy of the light pulses causes frequency doubling in the irradiated tissue, and wherein a memory for storing various values for the pulse frequency, the pulse duty factor and the power density and an operating element for selecting the desired values from the memory are provided.
