Abstract
A long-persistent ultraviolet-emitting phosphor LiLuGeO<sub>4</sub>:Bi<sup>3+</sup>,Yb<sup>3+</sup> is synthesized. This phosphor exhibits simulated <italic>in vivo</italic> photostimulated persistent luminescence after a longtime decay by using <italic>in vitro</italic> NIR light penetrating biological tissue.
