Abstract
A model is developed, and an algorithm employing the Monte Carlo method for calculating the three-dimensional distribution of irradiating laser light consisting of several wavelengths is realized. The influence of the diverge nce of the laser beam on the character of the distribution of the radiation is taken into account. Distributions of combined laser radiation with wave lengths of 1.06 and 2.09 mu m and the temperature field induced by it in li ver tissue are calculated. The calculation results are compared with previo usly obtained experimental data. (C) 2000 The Optical Society of America. [ S1070-9762(00)01002-2].
