Parameters of pulsed laser radiation:

• Flash-lamp pumped pulsed dye laser (Candela):

l = 585 nm, tL = 0.45 ms, E = 1.2 - 2.4 J/cm2.

• Second harmonic of Nd:YAG laser (Coherent):

l = 532 nm, tL = 2 - 10 ms, E = 1 - 10 J/cm2.

Material properties:

• Absorption coefficient of blood: 191 cm-1 @ 585 nm,

266 cm-1 @ 532 nm.

• Thermal diffusivity: 1.4.10-3 cm2/s.
