Photodynamic therapy (PDT) treatment involves a light source in combination with light-sensitive medicine to destroy abnormal and precancerous cells. This can be done non- or minimal-invasive.
In Monocrom, we offer laser technology for Photodynamic Therapy based on Direct Diode Solutions in in 630nm, to meet the needs of the challenge in front. The solution is fiber delivered and cost effective.
How PDT Lasers work?
The concept is to excite oxygen to its singlet state (1Δg), which is the lowest excitation possible, yielding in increased reactiveness of oxygen molecule. Oxidation and production of free radicals is a strong tool in cancer treatments. As tissue light penetration increases with wavelength, the treatment should address agents absorbing deep RED, such as chlorins, bacteriochlorins, and phthalocyanines. Addressing these agents allows improvement in tumour control. Especially, due to accelerated metabolism of fast growing tumour cells these agents automatically will be transported to the target area.

Single Emitters
Single Emitters: Laser diode modules based on single emitters.
Wavelengths between 375 nm – 1550 nm are available in a range of power that starts below 1mW and scales up to some watts.
We can add optics, mechanics and electronics to fit customer’s demands.
Fiber-coupled Lasers
Fiber-coupled Lasers
Highly efficient fiber coupled diode lasers with Monocrom Solder-free laser bar Clamping™ technology. The lack of a “smile” effect results in an optimum coupling efficiency to the optical fiber. We also provide wavelength stabilized fiber-coupled laser modules with a grating for wavelength locking. Having a low smile results in an exceptionally well-controlled feedback, which increases the locking efficiency and production repeatability.
For the most demanding applications of high brightness (radiance), we offer fiber-coupled high power diode laser systems capable of delivering 1 kW in power in continuous wave (CW) at a single wavelength.
