This allows for the acquisition of high resolution, deep tissue images due to the partial transparency of tissues in this particular spectral range. In addition, the optical excitation with low energy （infrared） photons also leads to a drastic reduction in the contribution of autofluorescence to the in vivo image. Nevertheless, as is demonstrated here, working solely in this biological window does not ensure a complete removal of autofluorescence as the specimens diet shows a remarkable infrared fluorescence that extends up to 1,100 nm. In this work, we show how the 1,340 nm emission band of Nd3. ions embedded in SrF2 nanoparticles can be used to produce autofluorescence free, high contrast in vivo fluorescence images. It is also dem- onstrated that the complete removal of the food-related infrared autofluorescence is imperative for the development of reliable biodistribution studies.展开更多

The results showed that the spectral distribution with wavelength clearly fit well with the grey-body spectrum. We have analyzed the emissions and discovered they mostly came from the shear banding, which is a typical thermal radiation. The radiance intensity changing linearly with time revealed it was a volume effect. All of the data from pyrometer can be explained by the model of Boslough＇s study, especially for pres- sures over megabar. The color temperature of shocked sapphire changing with increased stress disagrees with the computed melt curve which is likely explained by the differcnt phase structures of sapphire.展开更多
