Figure 5.

Temperature increases in the cell media following near-infrared irradiation. Temperature increases during irradiation were measured using a thermocouple. The graph demonstrates the increase in the temperature of the media during irradiation with the indicated duration and power. 3W3m, treated with a 3-Watt laser for 3 min; 3W5m, treated with a 3-Watt laser for 5 min; 3W7m, treated with a 3-Watt laser for 7 min; 4W3m, treated with a 4-Watt laser for 3 min; 4W5m, treated with a 4-Watt laser for 5 min; 4W7m, treated with a 4-Watt laser for 7 min; 5W3m, treated with a 5-Watt laser for 3 min; 5W5m, treated with a 5-Watt laser for 5 min; 5W7m, treated with a 5-Watt laser for 7 min.
