Acoustoluminescence (AL) is promising for molecular imaging in living tissue, but efficient acousto-optic conversion remains challenging due to the [~]108 times difference in quantum energy between phonons (1 MHz ultrasound) and photons (visible or near-infrared light). Here, we report AL in transition metal oxides (TMOs) and rare earth oxides (REOs) at wavelengths beyond 1800 nm in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) or near-infrared II (NIR-II, 1000-3000 nm) window, under ultrasound excitation at power densities 100-150-fold lower than those required for sonoluminescence in liquids. High-temperature N2/H2-mixed gas reduction was demonstrated as a safe and efficient method to regulate the AL spectra and brightness of TMOs and REOs. TMOs exhibited broadband NIR-II AL emission. Intrinsic emission peaks of rare earth ions and non-conventional luminescence were observed in the AL spectra of REOs under ultrasound excitation. NIR-II AL imaging enabled twice the penetration depth of fluorescence imaging. We developed a scanning focused ultrasound AL imaging system for in vivo tumor imaging through the intact hindlimb, achieving acoustic resolution and penetration depths exceeding one centimeter.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
