Plasmonic‐Enhanced NIR‐II Downconversion Fluorescence beyond 1500 nm from Core–Shell–Shell Lanthanide Nanoparticles

Lanthanide - doped upconversion nanoparticles

Lanthanide oxide nanoparticles in biology

Lanthanide oxide nanoparticles attract great interest as potential fluorescent labels for biological applications. They offer long fluorescence lifetimes (about 1 ms) and a lack of photo bleaching. These properties allow the label fluorescence to be separated from the short-lived bio fluorescence and make possible the development of new detection techniques in biochemistry. The morphology of th...

Optical properties of porcine skin dermis between 900 nm and 1500 nm.

The weak absorption of shortwave infrared light by skin tissues between 700 and 1500 nm offers an important window for diagnosis by optical means. The strong scattering of shortwave infrared light by the skin, however, presents a challenge to the modelling of light propagation through the skin and the understanding of skin optics. We have measured the collimated and diffuse transmittance and di...

Multispectral Emissions of Lanthanide-Doped Gadolinium Oxide Nanophosphors for Cathodoluminescence and Near-Infrared Upconversion/Downconversion Imaging

Comprehensive imaging of a biological individual can be achieved by utilizing the variation in spatial resolution, the scale of cathodoluminescence (CL), and near-infrared (NIR), as favored by imaging probe Gd₂O₃ co-doped lanthanide nanophosphors (NPPs). A series of Gd₂O₃:Ln3+/Yb3+ (Ln3+: Tm3+, Ho3+, Er3+) NPPs with multispectral emission are prepared by the sol-gel method. The NPPs show a wide...
