Abstract
Recently, long persistent phosphors (LPPs) have been considered to be the most prominent candidates for biomedical applications. However, the LPPs suffer from a dramatic decrease in luminescence intensity after incorporation into the tissue. Therefore, it is very necessary to develop the more competitive LPPs and acquire the reproducible tissue imaging. Here, we propose and experimentally demonstrate an effective bifunctional La3Ga5GeO14: Cr3+, Nd3+ phosphor with the interesting characteristic of near-infrared long persistent phosphorescence and NIR-to-NIR Stokes luminescence. Cr3+ and Nd3+ ions are simultaneously selected as the emission centers in order to take advantage of the remarkable phosphorescence properties of Cr3+, and the appropriate energy level characteristic of NIR-excitation band (808nm) and NIR-emission (1064nm), and the ability as the brilliant auxiliary to create more efficient defects of Nd3+. The efficient dual-modal emission is, accordingly utilized to realize the convenient, high-resolution global detection and local imaging.
