This work provides an overview of the recent advances in the field of two-photon absorbing
chromophores active in the short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) spectral range. Herein the …

The recent advances in molecular design of polymethine dyes absorbing and emitting light
in the near-infrared region are reviewed. In contrast to many publications, which concern …

In the past decade, fluorescence bioimaging in the second near-infrared (NIR-II, 1000–1700
nm) window has shown great potential in both fundamental research and preclinical …

Aromatic difluoroboron β-diketonate complexes (BF2bdks) are classic fluorescent molecules
that have been explored as photochemical reagents, two-photon dyes, and oxygen sensors …

All‐optical switching—controlling light with light—has the potential to meet the ever‐
increasing demand for data transmission bandwidth. The development of organic π …

Solution-processed semiconductors are in demand for present and next-generation
optoelectronic technologies ranging from displays to quantum light sources because of their …

Optical spectra of two families of symmetrical polymethine dyes, bearing a positive and a
negative charge, are analyzed based on an essential-state model recently developed for …

We describe the linear and nonlinear optical properties of substituted aza-boron-
dipyrromethene (aza-BODIPY) dyes with a focus on the impact of the spatial position and …

NIR-II phototherapeutic agents possess the advantages of NIR-II optical imaging and
phototherapy, which include high signal-to-noise ratio imaging and non-invasive treatment …

Spectroscopic properties, two-photon absorption (TPA) and excited state absorption (ESA),
of two organic cyanine dyes and of a ruthenium based organometallic cyanine are …
