摘要:
A method for sensing, a photonic crystal fiber, a method for fabricating a photonic crystal fiber sensor, and a Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) sensing apparatus. The method for sensing comprises the steps of providing a photonic crystal fiber comprising a hollow core and a plurality of cladding holes around the hollow core; providing Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) active nanoparticles; and adapting the SERS active nanoparticles and/or the fiber for SERS sensing.
摘要:
A method of imaging living tissue is provided. The method includes introducing a photoacoustic contrast agent comprising or consisting of a photosensitizer into living tissue; and obtaining an image of the living tissue by photoacoustic imaging. Use of a photoacoustic contrast agent comprising or consisting of a photosensitizer in photoacoustic imaging is also provided.
