Implantable photonic devices for wireless light delivery into living systems

Implantable photonic devices for wireless light delivery deep into living systems. Applications include control of neural activity using optogenetics, and selective activation of light-sensitive cancer drugs for photodynamic therapy. These systems combine the spatiotemporal control of bioelectronics with the molecular selectivity of light for enhanced therapeutic precision.
