Experimental methodology for imaging of laser-excited tissue autofluorescence bleaching rates has been developed and clinically tested. The fluorescence images were periodically captured from the same tissue area over a certain time, with subsequent detection of the fluorescence intensity decrease rate at each image pixel and further imaging the planar distribution of those values. Spectral features at each image pixel were analyzed with a hyperspectral imaging camera. Details of the equipment and image processing are described as well as some measurement results that confirm the feasibility of the proposed technology.

Understanding laser-induced jumping has attracted great interest in nanomaterial launching and transfer but requires a high spatiotemporal resolution visualization. Here, we report a jumping dynamics of nanoplate driven by ultrafast laser-induced stress using time-resolved transmission electron microscopy. Single-shot imaging reveals a nondestructive launching of gold nanoplates in several nanoseconds after the pulsed femtosecond laser excitation.

The optical filament-based radioxenon sensing can potentially overcome the constraints of conventional detection techniques that are relevant for nuclear security applications. This study investigates the spectral signatures of pure xenon (Xe) when excited by ultrafast laser filaments at near-atmosphericpressure and in short and loose-focusing conditions. The two focusing conditions lead to laser intensity differences of several orders of magnitude and different plasma transient behavior.

Nanomedicines combining multimodal therapeutic modalities supply opportunities to eliminate tumors in a safe and efficient manner. However, the rigid encapsulation and covalent conjugation of different therapeutic reagents suffer from the complicated preparation process, premature drug leakage and severe adverse events. Herein, we report a self-enhanced supramolecular nanomedicine (SND) based on the host-guest molecular recognition between β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and camptothecin (CPT) for trimodal synergistic chemotherapy, photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT) using a single 670 nm near-infrared (NIR) laser.

Semiconducting polymer dots (Pdots) with both narrow-band absorption and emission are desirable for multiplexed bioassay applications, but such Pdots with absorption peaks beyond 400 nm are difficult to achieve. Here we describe a donor-energy transfer unit-acceptor (D-ETU-A) design strategy to produce a BODIPY-based Pdot that exhibits simultaneously narrow absorption and emission bands. A green BODIPY (GBDP) unit was employed as the main building block of the polymer backbone, conferring a strong, narrow-band absorption around 551 nm.

Integrating the ultralong excitation wavelength, high extinction coefficient, and prominent photothermal conversion ability into a single photothermal agent is an appealing yet significantly challenging task. Herein, a precise dual-acceptor engineering strategy is exploited for this attempt based on donor-acceptor (D-A) type semiconductor polymers by subtly regulating the molar proportions of the two employed electron acceptor moieties featuring different electronic affinity and π-conjugation degrees, and making full use of the active intramolecular motion-induced photothermal effect. The optimal polymer SP4 synchronously shows desirable second near-infrared (NIR-II) absorption, an extremely high extinction coefficient, and satisfactory photothermal conversion behavior.
