POLARIZATION
BIOPTRON Light is polarized light: its waves move (oscillate) in parallel planes. The light emitted
by the BIOPTRON devices reaches a polarization degree of 95%
POLYCHROMY
BIOPTRON Light is a polychromatic light. This means it contains not only one wavelength (like
laser light) but a wide range, including visible light and a portion of the infrared range. The
wavelength of BIOPTRON Light ranges from 480 nm to 3,400 nm.
The BIOPTRON electromagnetic spectrum does not contain UV radiation!
INCOHERENCY
Unlike laser light, BIOPTRON Light is incoherent, or out-of phase light. This means that the light
waves are not synchronized.
Coherent or in-phase light
Laser light​
Incoherent or out-of-phase light

Albert Einstein
The light frequency source that is commonly used in therapy is that of low level laser technology. Although the principles of lasers were formulated by Albert Einstein in 1917, it was not until the 1960's that the first commercial models appeared.
Niels Ryberg Finsen
Born: 15 December 1860, Thorshavn, Faroe Islands (Denmark)
Died: 24 September 1904, Copenhagen, Denmark
Affiliation at the time of the award: Finsen Medical Light Institute, Copenhagen, Denmark
Prize motivation: "in recognition of his contribution to the treatment of diseases, especially lupus vulgaris, with concentrated light radiation, whereby he has opened a new avenue for medical science"
Field: dermatology, radiology
In 1903 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for his research in light therapy and his exceptional therapeutic achievements. Dr. Finsen therefore is considered the founder of modern light therapy
Nikola Tesla
Serbian-American engineer and physicist Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) made dozens of breakthroughs in the production, transmission and application of electric power. He invented the first alternating current (AC) motor and developed AC generation and transmission technology.
Technically synthesized light has clear advantages: its intensity and emitted light spectrum are controllable.
C-60 Carbon Fullerene
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1996 was awarded jointly to Robert F. Curl Jr., Sir Harold W. Kroto and Richard E. Smalley "for their discovery of fullerenes".
