Zusammenfassung:Biological probes facilitate optical imaging and disease diagnosis and treatment. However, the large absorption and scattering loss in the tissue highly limit the depth during the application. In the present research, an NIR-I bioprobing system, which utilizes the Bessel beam to excite heavily doping nanocrystals, has been developed for deep tissue applications. On the one hand, the capillary mode selection method generates the Bessel excitation beam, lowering the excitation energy loss. On the other hand, a strong energy harvest of NaYbF4:90%Nd nanocrystals enables effective fluorescence and heat generation upon 800 nm excitation. By considering the advantages of Bessel excitation and heavily doping nanocrystals, up to ∼3 cm penetration depth for ex vivo bioimaging and the potential self-monitored photothermal treatment are demonstrated. The resultant bioprobing system allows deep tissue imaging and photothermal therapy, showcasing broad prospects in medical research and clinical applications.
