Interaction of Low-Intensity Laser Radiation with Blood and Its Components

  • Published:
Journal of Applied Spectroscopy Aims and scope

Abstract

The response of the blood of rabbits to the intravenous irradiation by a He-Ne laser radiation (λ = 632.8 nm) has been investigated by the UV-visible and IR absorption spectra of the whole blood, plasma, and erythrocyte mass. It has been established that hemoglobin is a primary photoacceptor absorbing low-intensity He-Ne-laser radiation. The exposure of blood to this radiation causes clearly defined changes in the IR and visible absorption spectra of the blood and erythrocytes. These spectral changes arise as a result of partial photodissociation of hemoglobin-ligand complexes in the process of absorption of laser radiation. It is suggested that photodissociation is a primary reaction that arises in blood exposed to a low-intensity laser radiation.
