The research demonstrates that the electric field sensitivity of fluorescence intensity of type-I and quasi-type-II quantum dots and quantum rods is enhanced under two-photon excitation, allowing them to track fast switching E-fields. This suggests the potential of semiconductor nanoparticles as cellular voltage probes in multiphoton imaging.
The optoelectronic properties of semiconductor nanoparticles make them valuable candidates for the long-term monitoring of transmembrane electric fields in excitable cells. In this work, we show that the electric field sensitivity of the fluorescence intensity of type-I and quasi-type-II quantum dots and quantum rods is enhanced under two-photon excitation compared to single-photon excitation. Based on the superior electric field sensitivity of the two-photon excited fluorescence, we demonstrate the ability of quantum dots and rods to track fast switching E-fields. These findings indicate the potential of semiconductor nanoparticles as cellular voltage probes in multiphoton imaging.
