Before starting on this route I'd want to know the significance of a 1072nm led? Why this wavelength and not 1000nm or 1100nm, etc.? Why leds and not a laser or a heater?
To get a feel for the problem:
- about 10% of the energy of the sun's radiation is contained in wavelengths above 1072nm;
- the spectrum of the radiation from a halogen lamp has a maximum close to 1072nm;
- a TV remote uses a 940nm LED - on ebay you can get 10 for a pound;
- a 1310nm led, £33 ebay.
- a 1070nm led, £15, Thorlabs
- I cannot find any work linking 1072nm to alpha-synuclein.
