Heterostructures composed of silver nanorods coated with mesoporous silica shells exhibit excellent biocompatibility, stability, and optical scattering cross‐section at 1330 nm. They can provide the strongest light scattering reported to date among various nanoscale optical coherence tomography contrast agents, and therefore have been demonstrated as efficient contrast agents that are responsive in the second near‐infrared biological window.
