Abstract
In order to study near-infrared laser safety problem,the thermal model of biological tissue induced by continuous lasers was set up and the precise expression of transient temperature distribution induced by laser both in irradiation and diffusion process was obtained through discrete variable method.Taking skin tissue irradiated by chemical oxygen-iodine laser as an example,the skin temperature distribution was calculated and analyzed.The calculation showed that temperature increased with the power density and irradiation time,temperature of biological tissue subjected to the surface decreased slowly when the irradiation ended,but the temperature in the deep biological tissue increased at first and then decreased slowly.The analyzing result is in accordance with the relative experimental result,which proves the laser irradiation model correct.The result is helpful to the research of thermal damage induced by continuous laser in material.
