Abstract: Two-photon excitation techniques have unique advantages, such as 3-D selectivity and deep penetration into biological tissues, compared to their one-photon counterparts. In this talk, I will present our recent research work on nanocomposite materials with enhanced two-photon excitation properties and their various applications. We used two different strategies to develop nanocomposites with enhanced two-photon properties. One method is based on energy transfer from conjugated polymers, which have large two-photon absorption cross sections. We have used conjugated polymers as two-photon light harvesting complexes to develop schemes for two-photon sensing, imaging and photodynamic therapy. The second approach is to develop plasmon engineered nanocomposite materials. Noble metal nanoparticles are known to display interesting phenomenon called Plasmon resonance, which could be utilized to develop nanocomposite materials with significantly enhanced optical properties. We have developed various metal nanocomposites with enhanced two-photon excitation emission and their applications in two-photon sensing.
