Noninvasive near-infrared (NIR) light ranging from 650 to 1000 nm (NIR-I) is widely employed in fundamental research and clinical applications; however, a recently discovered second NIR (NIR-II) window from 1000 to 1700 nm exhibits even better deep-tissue imaging capability due to reduced photon sca...
