Giant nonlinear optical responses from photon-avalanching nanoparticles

Journal Article Lee, Changhwan ; Xu, Emma Z. ; Liu, Yawei ; ... - Nature (London)

Avalanche phenomena use steeply nonlinear dynamics to generate disproportionately large responses from small perturbations, and are found in a multitude of events and materials. Photon avalanching enables technologies such as optical phase-conjugate imaging, infrared quantum counting and efficient upconverted lasing. However, the photon-avalanching mechanism underlying these optical applications has been observed only in bulk materials and aggregates, limiting its utility and impact. In this study we report the realization of photon avalanching at room temperature in single nanostructures-small, Tm³⁺-doped upconverting nanocrystals-and demonstrate their use in super-resolution imaging in near-infrared spectral windows of maximal biological transparency. Avalanching nanoparticles (ANPs) can bemore »« less

Synthesis and characterization of intrinsically radiolabeled lanthanide phosphate nanoparticles toward biomedical and environmental applications

Journal Article Toro Gonzalez, Miguel T. ; Clifford, Dustin M. ; Copping, Roy ; ... - Journal of Nanoparticle Research

Lanthanide phosphate nanomaterials are appealing as multifunctional platforms for biomedical applications because of their low toxicity, radiation resistance, and unique luminescence and magnetic properties. Lanthanide phosphate nanoparticles (NPs) radiolabeled with ¹⁵⁶Eu were synthesized by an aqueous route using sodium tripolyphosphate as a phosphate source and complexing agent. GdPO₄ was used as a host matrix, while synthetic concentrations of Ce³⁺/Tb³⁺ and Eu³⁺ were varied between 5–40% and 10–30%, respectively, and yielded spherical NPs with hexagonal crystal system and particle size < 5 nm. Luminescence emission and magnetic susceptibility were influenced by lanthanide concentrations where characteristic ⁵D₀-⁷F_J and ⁵D₄-⁷F_J transitions were observedmore »« less

Cathodoluminescence-based nanoscopic thermometry in a lanthanide-doped phosphor

Journal Article Aiello, Clarice D ; Pickel, Andrea D ; Barnard, Edward ; ... - arXiv.org Repository

Crucial to analyze phenomena as varied as plasmonic hot spots and the spread of cancer in living tissue, nanoscale thermometry is challenging: probes are usually larger than the sample under study, and contact techniques may alter the sample temperature itself. Many photostable nanomaterials whose luminescence is temperature-dependent, such as lanthanide-doped phosphors, have been shown to be good non-contact thermometric sensors when optically excited. Using such nanomaterials, in this work we accomplished the key milestone of enabling far-field thermometry with a spatial resolution that is not diffraction-limited at readout. We explore thermal effects on the cathodoluminescence of lanthanide-doped NaYFmore »« less
Characterization of a time-resolved non-contact scanning diffuse optical imaging system exploiting fast-gated single-photon avalanche diode detection

Journal Article Di Sieno, Laura, E-mail: laura.disieno@polimi.it ; Dalla Mora, Alberto ; Contini, Davide ; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

We present a system for non-contact time-resolved diffuse reflectance imaging, based on small source-detector distance and high dynamic range measurements utilizing a fast-gated single-photon avalanche diode. The system is suitable for imaging of diffusive media without any contact with the sample and with a spatial resolution of about 1 cm at 1 cm depth. In order to objectively assess its performances, we adopted two standardized protocols developed for time-domain brain imagers. The related tests included the recording of the instrument response function of the setup and the responsivity of its detection system. Moreover, by using liquid turbid phantoms with absorbingmore »« less

Low irradiance multiphoton imaging with alloyed lanthanide nanocrystals

Journal Article Tian, Bining ; Fernandez-Bravo, Angel ; Najafiaghdam, Hossein ; ... - Nature Communications

Multiphoton imaging techniques that convert low-energy excitation to higher energy emission are widely used to improve signal over background, reduce scatter, and limit photodamage. Lanthanide-doped upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) are among the most efficient multiphoton probes, but even UCNPs with optimized lanthanide dopant levels require laser intensities that may be problematic. Here, we develop protein-sized, alloyed UCNPs (aUCNPs) that can be imaged individually at laser intensities >300-fold lower than needed for comparably sized doped UCNPs. Using single UCNP characterization and kinetic modeling, we find that addition of inert shells changes optimal lanthanide content from Yb³⁺, Er³⁺-doped NaYF₄ nanocrystals to fully alloyedmore »« less
