Rare earth ion-doped Y2O3nanoparticles are attractive for biological imaging applications due to their non-toxicity, resistance to photobleaching, and possibility for upconversion. Y2O3:Yb3+/Tm3+nanocrystals display photoluminescence (PL) with a peak at ~811nm if excited at ~980nm. This Near-Infrared to Near-Infrared (NIR-to-NIR) upconversion (UC) process provides deeper light penetration into biological specimen and results in high contrast optical imaging due to absence of an autofluorescence background and decreased light scattering. Here, we report that NIR-to-NIR UC PL intensity of Y2O3:Yb3+/Tm3+nanocrystals are enhanced by doping with different Tm3+ions and Li+ions concentration. When the Tm3+ions concentration reaches 0.25 mol%, the NIR-to-NIR UC PL intensity is the strongest. And the NIR-to-NIR UC PL intensity of Y2O3:5 mol % Yb3+ions, 0.25mol% Tm3+ions and 5mol% Li+ions is maximum, which is more that about 14 times than that of no doped Li+ions. This material may show promise for use as probes for biological imaging.

Abstract –Recently, development of laser gain medium has been more attractive to be investigated due to the laser application in human daily life. For example, laser is used for medical treatment, surgery, security system, cutting, spectroscopy characterization and sensor. Laser is produced by the system including pump source, resonator, and an optical gain medium. This paper will be focused in a gain medium based on trivalent rare earth ions (Ln3+) such as Dy3+, Sm3+, and Eu3+ doped glass. The gain medium is developed by melt and quenching technique. The raw materials are a powder that is melted at the glass transition temperature. Afterwards, the glass liquid is poured at stainless steel at room temperature and annealed for several hours. After the annealing process, the bulk glass is cut and polished for characterization. Physical, optical, and luminescence properties of the gain medium are analyzed and discussed in this paper. The CIE 1931 chromaticity diagram coordinate is calculated to define the proper coordinate of glass sample emission light. The previous research shows that Dy3+, Sm3+ and Eu3+ in glass system can emit white, orange, and reddish-orange excited by 388 nm, 403 nm and 393 nm, respectively. From the results, trivalent rare earth ion doped glass possesses high potential to be developed for laser gain medium material. Keywords: glass, laser, luminescence, optic, Ln3+

The precursor prepared by co-precipitation method was sintered at various temperatures to synthesize crystalline manganese tungstate (MnWO4). Sintered MnWO4 showed the best crystallinity at a sintering temperature of 800 °C. Rare earth ion (Dysprosium; Dy3+) was added when preparing the precursor to enhance the magnetic and luminescent properties of crystalline MnWO4 based on these sintering temperature conditions. As the amount of rare earth ions was changed, the magnetic and luminescent characteristics were enhanced; however, after 0.1 mol.%, the luminescent characteristics decreased due to the concentration quenching phenomenon. In addition, a composite was prepared by mixing MnWO4 powder, with enhanced magnetism and luminescence properties due to the addition of dysprosium, with epoxy. To one of the two prepared composites a magnetic field was applied to induce alignment of the MnWO4 particles. Aligned particles showed stronger luminescence than the composite sample prepared with unsorted particles. As a result of this, it was suggested that it can be used as phosphor and a photosensitizer by utilizing the magnetic and luminescent properties of the synthesized MnWO4 powder with the addition of rare earth ions.

Optical investigation and manipulation constitute the core of biological experiments. Here, we introduce a new borosilicate glass material that contains the rare-earth ion terbium(III) (Tb3+), which emits green fluorescence upon blue light excitation, similar to green fluorescent protein (GFP), and thus is widely compatible with conventional biological research environments. Micropipettes made of Tb3+-doped glass allowed us to target GFP-labeled cells for single-cell electroporation, single-cell transcriptome analysis (Patch-seq), and patch-clamp recording under real-time fluorescence microscopic control. The glass also exhibited potent third harmonic generation upon infrared laser excitation and was usable for online optical targeting of fluorescently labeled neurons in the in vivo neocortex. Thus, Tb3+-doped glass simplifies many procedures in biological experiments.
