ABSTRACTErbium-Ytterbium codoped nanophosphor systems are explored for high efficiency upconversion. The NIR to visible upconversion from 1550 nm and 980 nm excitation are of particular interest to us for biomedical applications such as imaging, sensing, and photodynamic therapy. Variations in synthesis method and rare earth concentration are carried out in sodium, potassium, and transition metal based phosphor materials. The spectroscopic properties of the material dry and in biologically appropriate solution are taken. After bioconjugation, these particles will be used in a mouse model to demonstrate that cancer imaging with a near-infrared excitation source is possible.

The light-triggered controlled release of anticancer drugs accompanied with NIR-responsive photodynamic therapy was performed via a self-assembly process. Under 980 nm laser, the cancer cells could be effectively inhibited by released drugs and singlet oxygen simultaneously.

The phototoxicity of Chlorin e6 (Ce6) for photodynamic therapy (PDT) was found to be effectively suppressed by indocyanine green (ICG), a near infrared (NIR) dye.

The major limitations of photodynamic therapy (PDT) are the poor tissue penetration of excitation light and the neutralization of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by overexpressed glutathione (GSH) in cancer cells.
