Abstract: The spatial temperature distribution in biological tissues upon interaction of laser radiation with plasmon-resonance nanoparticles is simulated numerically. Experimental thermograms of model objects and real biological tissues are obtained in vivo for different localisation depths of nanoparticles in different irradiation regimes. The results obtained in the study can be used for the development of methods of laser photothermolysis of malignant tumours.
