Lasers at the olympics
I know of at least 3 teams using THOR lasers at the London Olympics
GB, USA and Australia.
Who else do you know here with a THOR ?

Many diodes make light work
Having just posted a feature on Prof. Jan Bjordal and the WALT dosage recommendations (read here), I am thinking about dose and cluster probes.
The advice from them is that the correct energy should be applied, that the whole pathology should be treated and, in some cases, there is a power density limit.
At our training course last weekend, someone asked how our LED cluster probe treatment dosage can be compared with the WALT guidelines which are based on single probe treatments. For example, the guidelines for treating a tennis elbow is one or two points, 4 joules per point, max 100mW/cm2.
With our 69 LED cluster probe, for example, the total power applied seems very high (1390 mW). It delivers 4 joules in less than 3 seconds. But this energy is delivered over a very wide area (28 cm2), not over a single point as in the WALT guidelines.
If we divide the 1390 mW power delivered by the area covered of 28 cm2, we get 50mW/cm2. So each cm2 gets 50mW, in which case … Continue reading

Are “Superluminous Diodes” better or different than super bright LEDs ?
Peter Jenkins (PJ) and I are competitors in business but friends in search of the truth about LLLT devices, mechanisms, treatment method and dose. We have different strengths and one of Peters is his nose for BS and willingness to dig up the truth and write about it on public forums.
I was cruising the net as you do reading blogs and PR nonsense about LLLT when I read for the thousandth time a reference to “Superluminous Diodes”. So I dropped PJ a line to ask for his view on the use of these terms, and with his permission I am publishing his response:

Just want to make sure we are on the same page on this …
Superluminous Diodes are a marketing hype term used exclusively by the LED therapy / LLLT industry and no better than LEDs right ?
