title: Integrated optical fiber systems--some theoretical aspects.
abstract: The specific advantages of a number of integrated optical systems, consisting of optical probes of various shapes and materials, coupled to a number of optical fibers are described. The radiation fields of the various systems vary significantly in their performance and the clinical effects may be expected to vary correspondingly. This is a step forward in the theoretical evaluation of optimal laser microsurgical tools for specific applications.
