Singlet oxygen (1O2) is the main cytotoxic substance in Type II photodynamic therapy (PDT). The luminescence of 1O2 at 1270
nm is extremely weak with a low quantum yield, making the direct detection of 1O2 at 1270
nm very challenging. In this study, a set of highly sensitive optical fiber detection system is built up to detect the luminescence of photosensitized 1O2. We use this system to test the luminescence characteristics of 1O2 in pig skin tissue ex vivo and mouse auricle skin in vivo. The experimental results show that the designed system can quantitatively detect photosensitized 1O2 luminescence. The 1O2 luminescence signal at 1270
nm is successfully detected in pig skin ex vivo. Compared with RB in an aqueous solution, the lifetime of 1O2 increases to

mg/kg, the vasoconstriction can reach more than 80%. The results of this study hold the potential application for clinical PDT dose monitoring using an optical fiber detection system.
