In photodynamic therapy, light is absorbed by a therapy agent (photosensitizer) to generate reactive oxygen, which then locally kills diseased cells. Here, we report a new form of photodynamic therapy in which nonlinear optical interactions of near-infrared laser radiation with a biological medium in situ produce light that falls within the absorption band of the photosensitizer. The use of near-infrared radiation, followed by upconversion to visible or ultraviolet light, provides deep tissue penetration, thus overcoming a major hurdle in treatment. By modelling and experiment, we demonstrate activation of a known photosensitizer, chlorin e6, by in situ nonlinear optical upconversion of near-infrared laser radiation using second-harmonic generation in collagen and four-wave mixing, including coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering, produced by cellular biomolecules. The introduction of coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering/four-wave mixing to photodynamic therapy in vitro increases the efficiency by a factor of two compared to two-photon photodynamic therapy alone, while second-harmonic generation provides a fivefold increase.
