TL;DR: A class of high-quality SWIR-emissive indium-arsenide-based quantum dots (QDs) that are readily modifiable for various functional imaging applications, and that exhibit narrow and size-tunable emission and a dramatically higher emission quantum yield than previously described SWIR probes are introduced.

TL;DR: In this paper, a class of high-quality SWIR-emissive indium-arsenide-based quantum dots (QDs) are introduced for various functional imaging applications, and that exhibit narrow and size-tunable emission and a dramatically higher emission quantum yield than previously described SWIR probes.

TL;DR: These aspects of SWIR suggest that the tissue spectroscopy and imaging in this range of wavelengths have the potential to provide enhanced sensitivity (relative to VIS-NIR measurements) to chromophores such as water and lipids, thereby helping to characterize changes in the concentrations of these Chromophores due to conditions such as atherosclerotic plaque, breast cancer, and burns.

TL;DR: An average improvement in the external quantum efficiency (EQE) from 1.8% to 21% across the near UV is realized using an LDS layer consisting of PbS/CdS core/shell QDs embedded in PMMA.

TL;DR: The proof-of-principle experiment in a rat burn model illustrates that the combination of multispectral SWIR imaging, SFDI, and unstructured illumination can characterize in vivo changes in skin optical properties over a greatly expanded wavelength range.
