A light source apparatus including light spectrum-converting materials that emit light primarily over large portions of the 360 nm-480 nm and the 590-860 nm spectral range is provided. This apparatus provides a cooled, high-luminance, high-efficiency light source that can provide a broader spectrum of light within these spectral ranges than has been cost-practical by using many different dominant peak emission LEDs. Up to 15% of the output radiant power may be in the spectral range 350-480 nm in one embodiment of this device, unless a specific separate source and lamp operating mode is provided for the violet and UV. Control methods for light exposure dose based on monitoring and controlling reflected or backscattered light from the illuminated surface and new heat management methods are also provided. This flexible or rigid light source may be designed into a wide range of sizes or shapes that can be adjusted to fit over or around portions of the bodies of humans or animals being treated, or mounted in such a way as to provide the special spectrum light to other materials or biological processes. This new light source can be designed to provide a cost-effective therapeutic light source for photodynamic therapy, intense pulsed light, for low light level therapy, diagnostics, medical and other biological applications as well as certain non-organic applications.

An apparatus enabling a casual user in a residential set-up to perform himself almost every skin treatment procedure by using a variety of modules that may be inserted into an infrastructure frame. The apparatus presents a docking station and an applicator. The applicator simultaneously receives only two types of skin treatment modules, these may be replaced after use for modules providing a different type of skin treatment. Such skin treatment modules like epilator, shaver, exfoliation or abrasive module, suction head, and massage head apply a mechanical action to the skin. Ultrasound module applies ultrasound waves to the skin. Intense pulsed light and RF apply electromagnetic radiation to the skin. A combination of these modules may be used to provide a variety of skin treatments such as hair removal, skin rejuvenation, skin exfoliation, acne treatment, circumference reduction, and other skin treatments.

Disclosed are a method for manufacturing an electrode including mixing at least two electrode materials selected from a carbon material, a metal oxide precursor, and a conductive polymer with a solvent to prepare a mixture, coating the mixture on a current collector, and radiating IPL (intense pulsed light) on the mixture coated on the current collector, the electrode manufactured according to the method, and a supercapacitor and rechargeable lithium battery including the electrode.

Disclosed is an intense pulse light device, in which plural divided light filters coated with individually different materials are rotatably and uniformly aligned around a reflection mirror in order to selectively filter lights according to wavelengths thereof, so that it is not necessary to exchange a handle body or filters, thereby improving convenience of use for the IPL device, and in which the loose contact of power lines and signal lines, leakage of cooling water, and penetration of impurities can be prevented, thereby improving reliability of IPL device. A semicircular reflection mirror aligned around a flash lamp installed in a body and a light filter section is aligned around the reflection mirror while forming a predetermined space therebetween. The light filter section is uniformly divided into two or four light filters so as to increase selectivity for the light radiated from flash lamp. The light filter section is fabricated by uniformly dividing a circular pipe made from glass, quartz or sapphire into plural pipe sections, coating the plural pipe sections with individually different materials in such a manner that only light having a predetermined wavelength passes therethrough, and bonding the plural pipe sections to each other.
