Gold nanorods excited at 830 nm on a far-field laser-scanning microscope produced strong two-photon luminescence (TPL) intensities, with a cos(4) dependence on the incident polarization. The TPL excitation spectrum can be superimposed onto the longitudinal plasmon band, indicating a plasmon-enhanced two-photon absorption cross section. The TPL signal from a single nanorod is 58 times that of the two-photon fluorescence signal from a single rhodamine molecule. The application of gold nanorods as TPL imaging agents is demonstrated by in vivo imaging of single nanorods flowing in mouse ear blood vessels.
在远场激光扫描显微镜上,830 nm激发的金纳米棒产生了强烈的双光子发光(TPL)强度,其对入射偏振具有cos(4)依赖性。TPL激发光谱可以叠加到纵向等离子体激元带上,表明等离子体增强的双光子吸收截面。单个纳米棒的TPL信号是单个罗丹明分子双光子荧光信号的58倍。通过对在小鼠耳部血管中流动的单个纳米棒进行体内成像,证明了金纳米棒作为TPL成像剂的应用。
