1. A method for irradiating tissue having absorption characteristics, comprising:

  • directing pump radiation within a narrow spectral hand from a laser onto a fluorescent element;

    responsively generating radiation by spontaneous emission at the fluorescent element, the spontaneously emitted radiation being diffuse and having peak emission outside said narrow spectral band of the radiation, and at least a portion of which emitted radiation matches said absorption characteristics; and

    delivering at least a portion of the diffuse emitted radiation to a tissue target for treatment of said tissue, said portion having sufficient fluence for therapeutic effect.
