Abstract
This paper focuses on the subject of nanoparticle-based absorbers and fluorophores for numerous high-efficiency absorber and emitter device applications. The latter includes the use of two-photon-absorption-induced fluorescence (TPAF) in such nanoparticles for medical applications such as deep-tissue imaging and deep-tissue photodynamic therapy (PDT). In particular, we propose and elucidate the use of advanced plasmonic quantum dot nanoparticle assemblies for such applications, and specify the design of optimized nanostructures that should result in enhancement of fluorescence signal intensity (and corresponding increases in PDT efficacies) by > 160,000 compared to those obtainable under comparable illumination conditions – from the same fluorescent labels (quantum dots or otherwise) used without plasmonic enhancement.
