Development of Near Infrared-Fluorescent Nanophosphors and Applications for Cancer Diagnosis and Therapy
The use of near infrared (NIR) light for biomedical photonics in the wavelength region between 800 and 2000 nm, which is called “biological window”, has received particular attention since water and biological tissues have minimal optical loss due to scattering and absorption as well as autofluoresc...
