Abstract
In part, the disclosure relates to an electromagnetic radiation (EMR) delivery system for non-invasive surface tissue temperature monitoring. The system includes a first source of EMR having a first wavelength range; a second source of EMR having a second wavelength range; and a tissue contacting material comprising a set of wavelength range specific EMR responsive dopants. In various embodiments, the tissue contacting material is positioned on a surface of a target region of tissue, wherein the tissue contacting material receives EMR from the first source, wherein the tissue contacting material receives EMR from the second source. The first and second sources may be arranged in different orientations or along a common axis or orientation.
