These properties were used in a theoretical model to predict the light distribution during laser irradiation. Optimal irradiation dosages were then predicted for argon (514.5\,nm) and dye (630\,nm) lasers. In addition, temperature rises in the tissue were computed for selected irradiation conditions.}, }
