Recently,I am studying on the influences about IR light to human beings. Except the absorption curve about human body to IR light,any related information is well and needed.
The absorption of different constituents of human tissue has been extensively studied and many variations of the following graph can be found in literature and a quick google search.

Describing the interaction of light with skin is a complex challenge given the different interactions light has as a function of wavelength with different biological molecules. The low absorbance of NIR wavelengths as shown in the above link gives rise to the use of NIR in biomedical photonics.
The following paper may be of interest if you haven't already seen it

Do you have a particular application in mind? For laser ablation you might want specific but high absorbance, whereas for imaging you will want low absorbance.

Thank you very much.
The target is:
1、find how reaction between infrared light and human body
2、find the heat transfer mechanism between infrared light and the human body and which wavelength is the most profited.
About the application, just like Infrared thermotherapy lamp to slow down pain
