Abstract
A system for controlling the amount of light radiation directed upon an infant from a fiberoptic phototherapy pad by feedback from a light detector that itself is a fiberoptic pad. The fiberoptic detecting pad receives and detects the light density radiation over an area and is located intermediate the normal fiberoptic phototherapy pad and the infant and therefore is in the best position to detect accurately, the light impinging upon the infant. In some embodiments, the light detector pad is manufactured as part of the fiberoptic phototherapy pad itself as a unitary construction. Light readily travels through the light detector to the infant, yet the light detector senses the light intensity and density of the light passing therethrough.
