The embodiments herein provide a system and a method for the synthesis of Graphene Quantum Dots (GQDs) for use in applications like nano-electronics, photonics, bio-imaging, energy storage, quantum computing, etc. Cu substrate is placed inside the CVD tube, and the CVD Chamber is sealed. The process parameters for CVD process are set up. Precursor gases injected inside the tube are dissociated to form carbon dimers and trimmers. Upon cooling semi-crystalline carbon film deposits inside the CVD tube. Oxidizing gas mixture is injected to convert amorphous C in semi-crystalline carbon film to CO.sub.2/CO. Graphene Quantum Dots (GQDs) so formed are carried with the gas flow and deposited at the cooler end of tube. The scrapper assembly is inserted in the CVD Tube and the reagent is sprayed inside the tube to disperse these GQDs in the reagent. This dispersion is pumped out of the CVD Chamber.

A calibration target for calibrating an optoelectronic device for analyzing biomolecules by detecting fluorescence signals from a sample includes a substrate and a solid fluorescent layer that is disposed on the substrate and capable of being excited by laser light. The fluorescent layer has an optically inactive matrix having embedded therein a carbon-based component that is excitable to light emission.

Polycyclic compounds that are aromatic or partially aromatic, and are substituted with one or more alkyl groups having an amino group and a carboxylic acid group, and includes carbon quantum dots (CQDs) that contain these compounds. The compounds and CQDs have a selective affinity for cells that express LAT1 and for tumor cells, and can internalize within such cells. The compounds and CQDs are useful for imaging of such cells and for delivering cargo compounds to and into cells that express LAT1 and tumor cells. Methods for making and using these compounds and CQDs for bioimaging and targeting certain tissues, including tumors, are disclosed.
