Manganese doped ZnS embedded NaGdF4:Yb:Er nanocomposite synthesized using single step hot injection method was investigated. Synthesized samples were characterized by structural, morphological, and luminescence analysis. Crystalline phase of synthesized ZnS:Mn/NaGdF4:Yb:Er was confirmed using X-ray diffraction analysis and compared with thermal decomposition method synthesized NaGdF4:Yb:Er and ZnS:Mn2+ quantum dots. Composite formation and morphological changes were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy. Enhanced up-conversion red emission (4F9/2 – 4I15/2) was observed in NaGdF4:Yb:Er luminescence in presence of ZnS:Mn. Excitation and down-conversion emission analysis confirmed the modified emission of ZnS:Mn/NaGdF4:Yb:Er in the lower wavelength region. Broad visible emission covered from green to red of the synthesized ZnS:Mn/NaGdF4:Yb:Er was established by cathodoluminescence measurement. The obtained nanocomposite with multi-modal character was utilized to study up-conversion and down-conversion optical imaging using He-La cells as a biological specimen. Acquired bio-imaging results show that the multi-modal luminescence ability of synthesized nanocomposite is fit with the up-conversion as well as down-conversion imaging.
