ABSTRACT:
A light beam irradiation apparatus includes a light source, a reflector for condensing light emitted from the light source, and a fiber cable for transmitting light reflected by the reflector. The fiber cable accommodates at least one bundle of optical fibers arrayed at random so that a fiber array at its first end differs from that at its second end. The apparatus further includes a lens, mounted on the second end of the fiber cable, for focusing the light on an object to be treated.
