Emission bands from thermally coupled states in lanthanide-doped nanoparticles have been studied for ratiometric nanothermometry in biological applications. Unfortunately certain factors such as water absorption distort the intensity, limiting the accuracy of ratiometric nanothermometry. However, the decay time of such states does not suffer from such dis ...
