In Vitro Photothermal Destruction of Cancer Cells Using Gold Nanorods and Pulsed-Train Near-Infrared Laser

Figure 3

Laser illumination time needed (defined as 𝑡₂, in seconds) for the near-surface (𝑧=1.5 mm) for surface temperature increase of 10°C as a function of the laser fluence, using diode laser at 808 nm (with measured 𝐴=3.5 cm⁻¹). Measured data are shown in triangles and compared with theoretical dashed curve.
