The authors review tendencies in the application of fiber-optic laser coherent irradiation and monochromatized incoherent sources as phototherapy devices. Analyze the most important factors of the visible light impact on the biological tissues. Show that incoherent monochromatized light with a spectrum specially matched with the absorption spectrum of the biological molecules can produce a physiological effect comparable to that of laser radiation.
