General biomedical optics theory is covered in chapters discussing fundamentals of optical principles; optical interaction properties; light-tissue interaction variables; light-tissue interaction theory; numerical and deterministic methods in light-tissue interaction theory; and photophysical, photochemical photochemical in laser treatment, the laser light is absorbed and converted into chemical energy. , and photobiological mechanisms and applications. Six chapters then discuss diagnostic applications in the photophysical, photochemical, and photobiological realms and therapeutic applications for the same.
