2. 1. Photon migration in tissue : laser induced fluorescence for cancer diagnostics and influence of optical properties on microvascular Doppler spectroscopy

   Author : Henrik Nilsson; Othar Svaasand Svansand; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : Laser induced flourescence (LIF) is an "optical biopsy" method, based on the selective accumulation of fluorophores in neoplastic tissue. Two recently developed, non-photosensitizing tumor seeking carotenoporphyrins were assessed regarding tumor selectivity, and biodistribution, in experimental animals. READ MORE

4. 2. Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Applications of Spectroscopy in the Photon Migration Regime

   Author : Tomas Svensson; Atomfysik; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Porosimetry; Biomedical optics; Pharmaceutical analysis; Monte Carlo; Scattering media; Photon migration; Laser spectroscopy; High-resolution spectroscopy; Time-resolved spectroscopy; Time-of-flight;

   Abstract : The present thesis is devoted to two different matters: One part is the development of a novel optical technique for characterisation of solid pharmaceutical materials. The other part being the continued development of photon time-of-flight spectroscopy, as well as exploration of new application areas of this method. READ MORE

6. 4. Non-Coherent Photon Upconversion on Dye-Sensitized Nanostructured ZrO2 Films for Efficient Solar Light Harvesting

   Author : Jonas Sandby Lissau; Ana Morandeira; James M. Gardner; Leif Hammarström; Josef Michl; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; photon upconversion; triplet-triplet annihilation; DSSC; dye-sensitized; delayed fluorescence; photophysics; solar energy conversion; nanostructured surface; energy migration; Kemi med inriktning mot kemisk fysik; Chemistry with specialization in Chemical Physics;

   Abstract : Photon upconversion by sensitized triplet–triplet annihilation (UC-STTA) is a photophysical process that facilitates the conversion of two low-energy photons into a single high-energy photon. A low-energy photon is absorbed by a sensitizer molecule that produces a triplet excited state which is transferred to an emitter molecule. READ MORE

7. 5. Advancing Upconversion Emissions for Biomedical Imaging

   Author : Haichun Liu; Atomfysik; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; upconverting nanoparticles; luminescence; fluorescence; inverse problem; biomedical optics; biomedical imaging; photon migration; upconversion; tomography; saturation; Fysicumarkivet A:2014:Liu;

   Abstract : During the past decade, upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) doped with rare earth ions have become an important class of fluorescence contrast agents for molecular imaging, due to their unique properties. Their property of anti-Stokes luminescence, with both the excitation and emission wavelengths close to the optimal for biomedical imaging, has been extensively explored in various biomedical applications.
