Title: Use of a radially polarized beam for ultra-low energy threshold for cancer photothermal therapy with gold nanorods
Author(s): Kang, Hong; Li, Jingliang; Jia, Baohua; Morrish, Dru; Gu, Min
Abstract: We demonstrate that the use of radially polarized beam is more effecient for both imaging and therapy for cancer cells labelled with gold nanorods, compared with that of a linearly polarized beam.
