| Title: |
Two-Photon Luminescence
of Carbon Quantum Dots

| Case # |
07-034 |
| Inventor(s): |
Ya-Ping Sun, et. al.

| Abstract: |
Clemson University inventors
have developed novel carbon quantum dots (C-DOTS) that have unique
photoluminescent qualities. In addition to previously discovered
optical properties, the C-DOTS also exhibit strong luminescence
with two-photon excitation in the near-infrared for optimal tissue
transmittance and localization; beneficial to the growing field
of biomedical imaging. C-DOTS distinct feature of size (sub-10
nm) and passivation by organic or other molecules create a material
comparable to currently available high-performance semiconductor
quantum dots and have the potential of being a benign alternative
to traditional semiconductor quantum dots.
