This paper presents a two-photon phase-resolved fluorescence-lifetime measurement method based on the use of an ultrashort pulse laser. The proposed method also involves the use of a lock-in amplifier to control the phase difference between the reference and fluorescence signals, thereby facilitating the use of an alternative method for determining fluorescence lifetimes. Verification of the fluorescence lifetimes as measured in this study was performed using rhodamine B and a cellular thermoprobe as samples. In this study, we assume that the fluorescence decay was monoexponential in all cases. Rhodamine B was observed to exhibit an average fluorescence lifetime of 2.15 ns, whereas a temperature sensitivity of 1.39 ns C over a temperature range of 33.79-37.2 °C was demonstrated for the cellular thermoprobe. These results validate the feasibility of the proposed method for accurate measurement of fluorescence lifetimes using a simple laser configuration.

Organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites (OIHPs) have attracted enormous attention owing to their intriguing structural tunability and diverse functional properties. Reconstructive phase transitions, involving the breaking and reconstruction of chemical bonds, have rarely been found in such materials; however, these features may induce many intriguing physical properties in optics, ferroelectrics, ferromagnetics, and so forth. Here, we utilized the weak and switchable coordination bonds of HETMA-MnCl (HETMA = (2-hydroxyethyl) trimethylammonium) to construct a 1D hybrid perovskite employing a neutral framework.

Sub-cellular organelle anomalies are frequently observed in diseases such as cancer. Early and precise diagnosis of these alterations can be crucial for patient outcomes. However, current diagnostic tools using conventional organic dyes or metal quantum dots face limitations, including poor biocompatibility, stringent storage conditions, limited solubility in aqueous media, and slow staining speeds.

Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) materials have drawn increasing attention for their potential applications in optical displays and chemo/biosensing. Nevertheless, the construction of circularly polarized room-temperature phosphorescence (CPRTP) materials is still a significant challenge. In this work, four liquid crystalline polymer network films with RTP properties have been fabricated via photopolymerization of cholesteric liquid-crystalline mixtures containing different amounts of commercially available dyes.

Membrane potential (MP) changes can provide a simple readout of bacterial functional and metabolic state or stress levels. While several optical methods exist for measuring fast changes in MP in excitable cells, there is a dearth of such methods for absolute and precise measurements of steady-state membrane potentials (MPs) in bacterial cells. Conventional electrode-based methods for the measurement of MP are not suitable for calibrating optical methods in small bacterial cells.

Controlling the light emitted by individual molecules is instrumental to a number of advanced nanotechnologies ranging from super-resolution bioimaging and molecular sensing to quantum nanophotonics. Molecular emission can be tailored by modifying the local photonic environment, for example, by precisely placing a single molecule inside a plasmonic nanocavity with the help of DNA origami. Here, using this scalable approach, we show that commercial fluorophores may experience giant Purcell factors and Lamb shifts, reaching values on par with those recently reported in scanning tip experiments.
