Significance: Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) is a powerful technique to
distinguish the unique molecular environment of fluorophores. FLIM measures the time a …

Semiconductor plasmonics has become a frontier for light manipulation beyond the
diffraction limit, offering a broader spectral range and higher flexibility of plasmon …

Temperature monitoring is useful in medical diagnosis, and essential during hyperthermia
treatments to avoid undesired cytotoxic effects. Aiming to control heating doses, different …

Surgical resection of cancer remains an important treatment modality. Despite advances in
preoperative imaging, surgery itself is primarily guided by the surgeon's ability to locate …

Native fluorescence, or autofluorescence (AF), consists in the emission of light in the UV-
visible, near-IR spectral range when biological substrates are excited with light at suitable …

Only a fraction of cancer patients benefits from immune checkpoint inhibitors. This may be
partly due to the dense extracellular matrix (ECM) that forms a barrier for T cells. Comparing …

Fluorescence imaging in the second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000–1700 nm) window has
exhibited advantages of high optical resolution at deeper penetration (ca. 5–20 mm) in bio …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a minimally invasive treatment that destroys target cells in
the presence of oxygen when light irradiates a photosensitizer, generating highly reactive …

Polarimetry has a long and successful history in various forms of clear media. Driven by their
biomedical potential, the use of the polarimetric approaches for biological tissue assessment …
