Abstract

Biocompatible nano Nd³⁺ doped Ca₅(PO₄)₃F( FAP) were successfully synthesized through hydrothermal method. Nearly pure near-infrared to near-infrared (NIR-to-NIR) luminescence can be realized. Moreover, the excitation and the emission at 808 and 1060 nm are away from the visible region. These are beneficial to deeper tissue penetration and reduced autofluorescence. This material exhibits an excellent NIR-to-NIR emission performance and is thus potentially applicable as an high-contrast in vitro and in vivo imaging.
