1:Experimental Design and Method Selection
The study employed the two-photon excited emission (TPEE) technique using a tunable femtosecond laser system to investigate the nonlinear optical properties of CdSe quantum dots conjugated with proteins.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources
Hydrophobic CdSe quantum dots were synthesized and then functionalized with proteins to create hydrophilic CdSe:PUF QDs assemblies. The optical properties of these QDs were then analyzed.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials
Tunable mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser (Chameleon, Coherent Inc.), JASCO V670 spectrometer, FS5 Spectrofluorometer (Edinburgh Instruments, UK), Ocean Optics USB2000 fiber-coupled spectrometer.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow
The synthesis of trioctylphosphine oxide-capped CdSe hydrophobic QDs, their functionalization with proteins, and subsequent optical characterization using one-photon and two-photon spectroscopy techniques.
5:Data Analysis Methods
The two-photon absorption cross-section was determined using the TPEE technique, with Rhodamine 610 as the reference dye. Quantum yields were measured using the comparative method.
