This work provides an overview of the recent advances in the field of two-photon absorbing
chromophores active in the short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) spectral range. Herein the …

Phototheranostics integrates deep-tissue imaging with phototherapy (containing
photothermal therapy and photodynamic therapy), holding great promise in early diagnosis …

Abstract Recently, near-infrared (NIR) absorbing photothermal therapy (PTT) agents, which
usually apply for deep-tissue cancer treatment, has gained increasing attention due to deep …

The development of near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probes over the past few decades has
changed the way that biomolecules are imaged, and thus represents one of the most rapidly …

Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) doped with lanthanides have limited brightness due
to their small absorption cross section to light. However, using organic sensitizers can …

Phototherapy (including photothermal therapy, PTT; and photodynamic therapy, PDT) has
been widely used for cancer treatment, but conventional PTT/PDT show limited therapeutic …

Spectroscopic sensing combined with optical imaging is crucial with respect to today's ever‐
growing demand for instant analytical techniques to be incorporated in various handheld …

It has been proved that the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy (PDT) is closely related to
the intrinsic features of the photosensitizer (PS). Over the recent years, several efforts have …

Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) guided photothermal therapy (PTT) can realize real-time
diagnosis and in situ treatment of cancer at the same time. Absorption in the near-infrared …

Throughout the opto-electronic devices industry, organic materials with considerable
nonlinear optical (NLO) capabilities are being used. By employing 4, 6-di (thiophen-2-yl) …
