Effect of wavelength and beam width on penetration in light-tissue interaction using computational methods

Caerwyn Ash, Michael J. Dubec, Kelvin Donne, Tim Bashford

Short summary

Computational modeling reveals that light penetration depth in tissue increases with wavelength, reaching up to 5378 μm. A 10-mm beam width delivers 73-88% of the fluence at 1-3 mm depths compared to an infinitely wide beam, indicating limited benefit from larger spot sizes for deeper penetration.
