The problem of wireless energy supply to implantable biomedical devices using optical radiation is discussed. The results of Monte Carlo simulation are presented. It is shown that optical radiation can be used for wireless energy supply of implantable medical devices with power consumption of about 10 mW. The optimal radii of the energy receiver are calculated.
