Abstract
Efficacy of light-activated biomedical processes depends on the tissues (media) optical properties, the photosensitizers, and
the light parameters such as its wavelength, energy, intensity, pulse-width, repetition rate and the operation modes. Optimal
combination of light fluence (energy density), intensity and irradiation time may be achieved via scaling laws. Beer-Lambert law
(BLL) and Bunsen-Roscoe law (BRL, for reciprocity rule) are discussed and compared to new nonlinear scaling laws developed by
coupled equation for light intensity and concentration of the photosensitizers. The linear BLL is limited to simple case, when there
is no photosensitizer depletion. Type-II photodynamic therapy efficacy follows the BRL (for the case of no external oxygen supply,
with P=0), whereas type-I and type-II (with P>0) follow a non-linear non-BRL.
