We report, to our best knowledge, the first observation of two-photon and three-photon fluorescence of Triton X-100 (TX-100) in water and cyclohexane. The observed multiphoton fluorescence (MF) falls in the ultraviolet region 280-340nm as its one photon fluorescence does. Effects of excitation wavelengths and solution concentrations on the fluorescence spectra are investigated. We found the optimal excitation wavelength and solution concentration to obtain the strongest MF. For relatively weaker three-photon fluorescence, there exists fluctuation in its spectrum due to its small SNR. The peak wavelength is around 300nm and only varies slightly with the solution concentration, solvent type, and excitation wavelength, which is quite different from those of other luminophors. This work has extended the wave band of MF to the purple and ultraviolet regions of 280-340nm and study of TX-100 to nonlinear optics field. The results may be potentially applied in ultraviolet MF detection and in manufacturing ultraviolet multiphoton laser in the future. Although for the latter case, there is still a long way to go to enhance its fluorescence efficiency and cross section of stimulated emission beforehand.

Nonlinear multimode imaging is a versatile tool to realize complex structural and compositional information of biological samples. In this study, we presented a novel integrated multimode nonlinear optical microscopy system by using an Er3 + -doped femtosecond fiber laser. The system could perform second harmonic generation (SHG), third harmonic generation (THG), and three-photon fluorescence (3PEF) imaging modes simultaneously.

The fabrication of self-reporting photosensitizers (PSs), enabling real-time evaluation of the extent of elimination of cancer cells, holds significant scientific importance in the photodynamic therapy (PDT) process. To address the intrinsic challenge of the short-wavelength light source, this work proposed an innovative approach of rational design second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000-1700 nm) light-excited fluorescent PS systems (named , , and , respectively) through modulating aggregation and deaggregation based on assembling strategy. Therein, the suitable interplanar distance of adjacent linked with C-H···π interactions was an idea for relieving compact π···π packing for fluorescent imaging as well as elevating the spin-orbit coupling for reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation.
