A method of making shape-adaptable and spectral-selective distributed optical radiation sources, in the wavelength range between UV and mid-infrared, for therapeutic treatment using passive host medium containing nanocrystals is disclosed. The spectral output of the distributed optical radiation source is controlled by the nanocrystal size distribution that determines the spectral output of fluorescence radiation originating from these nanocrystals from within the said host medium, which contains the said nanocrystals, under excitation by an external source. The size of nanocrystals, or the size distribution of nanocrystals, incorporated in the host medium is selected based on the radiation spectral output required for therapeutic requirements. The passive host medium, incorporating the said nanocrystals, is made of adaptable, geometrically configurable, material that conforms to any desired shape.

Phototherapeutic treatment method using a passive host medium containing nanoparticles

Phototherapy apparatus, incorporating interconnected radiation sources, such as diode laser cluster radiation devices, and method for bone healing, bone growth stimulation, and bone cartilage regeneration are disclosed. The method consists of applying the said radiation cluster apparatus conformally around the desired area of the bone to be treated and providing irradiation at appropriate wavelengths and power densities for a selected period of time to the said area of the bone structure to be treated. The apparatus incorporates a sufficient number of the diode laser cluster devices, or other appropriate light sources, which are adapted to be placed inside an appropriate brace (e.g., ankle brace or knee brace), or are embedded inside a reconfigurable foam, or are embedded inside deformable gel material, or are embedded within the cast, which facilitate radially-positioned sources for irradiation of the area to be treated.
