Figure 3.

Anti-Stokes emission of a single nanorod at different irradiation powers. We used the model from eq 2 to fit the experimental data. There is an excellent agreement between data and model. The inset shows the extracted temperature at each power (blue dots) and a linear extrapolation of the data to 0 μW excitation power. The value obtained for room temperature was 293 K, while the measured value was 296 K.
