Abstract

We developed a laser fabrication process of submicrometer hollow fluorescent spheres of Tb³⁺-incorporated calcium phosphate. Pulsed laser irradiation was applied to a dispersion of carbon-integrated hydroxyapatite nanopowders in the presence of Tb³⁺. Thus, Tb³⁺ incorporation during calcium phosphate sphere formation through laser processing was achieved.
