CW irradiation (CW = constant waves) provides uniform continuous irradia-
tion, while PULSE irradiation provides the most intensive light strength and
deep pulsed penetration of the beams. In general, treatment of 6 - 8 minu-
tes is recommended for CW operation, followed by treatment with PULSE
operation for the same length of time.
