FREQUENCY
►Pulse Frequency or Number of pulses per second
Altered by movement

CONSTRUCTIVE INTERFERENCE
When the combined amplitude of waves is greater than individual amplitude, the signal
gets stronger.

Harmonic Resonance
Is the same thing as constructive interference

DESTRUCTIVE INTERFERENCE
When one wave is peaking & the other is troughing, they cancel
each other out

Out of Resonance
When the waves are not converging and cancel
each other

Laser Output Power
►Measured in milliwatts (mW)
►Higher power output over similar area = higher power density
►Variation of Output Power affects results
![Page 37: LOW LEVEL LASER Treatment for Osteo- arthritis of the Hand FDA Study ANMA Las Vegas July, 2008 Dr. Larry Lytle BS, DDS, PhD Low Level Laser Consultant](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061304/5513d78355034674748b4fdd/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Power Density
►Light concentration-Energy Density – W/cm2
►More power is not better►Body sets up impedance, or
polarizes against, too much power and becomes less effective
