We present a novel process for the production of three-layer Composite Nanoparticles (CNPs) in the size range 100-300 nm with an up-converting phosphor interior, a coating of porphyrin photosensitizer, and a biocompatible PEG outer layer to prevent clearance by the reticuloendothelial system. We show that these CNPs produce millimolar amounts of singlet oxygen at NIR intensities far less than other two-photon techniques. (C) 2008 Optical Society of America
