Although lasers can provide an intense pulsed source of light, when used in the medical or paramedical field, the term is restricted to xenon arc lamps. These have a broad spectral emission. The radiation emitted can be filtered to restrict the emission to the UV, visible or near-IR regions of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum. 1, record 1, English, - intense%20pulsed%20light%20source

Bien que les lasers puissent constituer une source de lumière intense pulsée, lorsqu'ils sont utilisés dans le domaine médical ou paramédical, ce terme est réservé aux lampes à arc au xénon. Elles ont un large spectre d’émission. Le rayonnement émis peut être filtré pour limiter l’émission aux domaines UV et visible ou au domaine de proche infrarouge du spectre de rayonnement électromagnétique. 1, record 1, French, - source%20de%20lumi%C3%A8re%20intense%20puls%C3%A9e
