title = "A versatile nanocrystal-based multi-sensory fiber-optic probe for dosimetry in PDT and thermal treatment",
abstract = "Multi-sensory fiber-optic probes using nanocrystals as the sensing materials are shown to overcome most limitations imposed by those using organic dyes as the fluence-rate sensing materials. These nanocrystals are shown to be excitable by a wide range of wavelengths covering the entire tissue transparent window utilized by various light-enabled treatment modalities. The optical response of the sensors made from the nanocrystals is shown to be linear without any sign of photobleaching and sensor crosstalk over a wide range of irradiance and fluence. Fiber probes using the nanocrystals are promising in offering high spatial resolution in fluence-rate dosimetry for photodynamic therapy and photothermal treatment.",
