[0002] The statements in this section merely provide background technologies related to the present disclosure and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] Fluorescence imaging technology has become an important tool for disease diagnosis, surgical navigation, and drug research and development in the biomedical field due to its non-invasive, highly sensitive, and real-time monitoring capabilities. Among them, near-infrared second-region fluorescence imaging is regarded as a key technology to break through the limitations of traditional visible light and near-infrared first-region imaging because of its deeper tissue penetration, lower autofluorescence interference, and higher spatial resolution, and shows great application potential in fields such as in vivo imaging and tumor detection.

[0004] In recent years, the development of high-performance near-infrared second-region fluorescent molecules has become a research hotspot. However, in aqueous solutions or physiological environments, these fluorescent molecules are prone to uncontrollable aggregation, resulting in a serious aggregation-induced fluorescence quenching effect, significantly reducing their fluorescence brightness and imaging quality. Research shows that enhancing the light absorption intensity of fluorescent molecular aggregates can effectively promote the absorption of excitation light and improve the signal-to-noise ratio of fluorescence imaging. Therefore, in order to optimize the performance of near-infrared second-region fluorescent molecules, it is necessary to accurately evaluate the light absorption intensity of their aggregated states.

In the present invention, it is used for the molecular mechanics optimization of the low-level calculation region to reduce the overall calculation cost.

[0079] Specifically, the hierarchical calculation model is the ONIOM model. The ONIOM model is a hierarchical calculation model that divides the system into a high layer (high-precision quantum mechanics treatment) and a low layer (low-precision molecular mechanics treatment) region, and balances the calculation accuracy and efficiency by coupling the two. In the present invention, it is used to process the differential simulation of the core molecule and the environment in the fluorescent molecule aggregate, ensuring the calculation accuracy of the key region while taking into account the optimization of computing resources.
