Abstract

Abstract : Gold nanoparticles enhance the fluorescence of PbS quantum dots upon excitation with near infrared laser to implement remote imaging. Abstract : Gold nanoparticles with nanoscale protrusions can be synthesized by seed-mediated growth in favor of tuning the surface plasmon band towards the near-infrared regime. Electromagnetic field enhancement makes significant contribution to improve fluorescence emission of PbS quantum dots in the near-infrared window, identifying their application in remote imaging by collecting the scattered fluorescence of their hybrids.
