22 results about "Photon upconversion" patented technology

Photon upconversion (UC) is a process in which the sequential absorption of two or more photons leads to the emission of light at shorter wavelength than the excitation wavelength. It is an anti-Stokes type emission. An example is the conversion of infrared light to visible light. Upconversion can take place in both organic and inorganic materials, through a number of different mechanisms. Organic molecules that can achieve photon upconversion through triplet-triplet annihilation are typically polycyclicaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Inorganic materials capable of photon upconversion often contain ions of d-block or f-block elements. Examples of these ions are Ln³⁺, Ti²⁺, Ni²⁺, Mo³⁺, Re⁴⁺, Os⁴⁺, and so on.

Multiphoton up-conversion super-resolution microscopic imaging method based on microsphere super-lens enhancement

The invention discloses a multiphoton up-conversion super-resolution microscopic imaging method based on microsphere super-lens enhancement, which utilizes the super-resolution advantage of a microsphere super-lens and the nonlinear response advantage of a lanthanide doped rare earth up-conversion nano material to reduce the saturation excitation power of the rare earth nano material. And super-resolution imaging under the condition of a low-magnification and low-numerical-aperture objective lens is realized. An example verifies that under the condition that system complexity is not increased, excitation powers of 455 nm and 808 nm radiation fluorescence of an up-conversion nano material are respectively reduced by 15.40 times and 23.44 times, fluorescence imaging resolutions of 455 nm and 808 nm can be respectively improved by 3.14 times and 3.6 times under a 10x 0.25 NA objective lens, and corresponding transverse resolution limits can respectively reach 358.20 nm and 480.02 nm, so that the fluorescence imaging resolution of the up-conversion nano material can be improved by 3.14 times and 3.6 times under a 10x 0.25 NA objective lens. The method has the advantages of simple imaging system, low cost and good imaging effect, and is of great significance to biological application research.

Photon upconversion nanocapsules for 3D printing and other applications

The present invention generally relates to photon upconversion nanocapsules for 3D printing and other applications. For example, one aspect is generally related to nanocapsules that contain an upconversion material. Light, such as laser light, focused on a region of liquid containing nanocapsules may be upconverted by the upconversion material to produce wavelengths sufficient to cause polymerization of a polymerizable entity to occur. However, in contrast, although other regions may receive some light, that light may not be of sufficient focus or intensity to be upconverted, and thus, the polymerizable entity in those regions would generally not polymerize. In such a fashion, the extent of polymerization can be controlled, for example, by controlling where light is applied to the liquid. The light could be focused at arbitrary regions within the liquid, thus allowing true 3D-printing to occur. In addition, some embodiments of the invention generally relate to systems and methods for making or using such nanocapsules containing upconversion materials, products produced using such materials, kits including such materials, or the like.
