Multispectral Mueller matrix imaging was performed over a spectral range from 470 to 632 nm on 4-μm unstained gastric tissue sections. A complete set of polarization parameters was derived. The combination of linear depolarization and linear retardance yields the highest accuracy in sample classification. When the depolarization of linearly polarized light due to scattering is independent of the orientation angle of the incident linear polarization vector, the derivation of linear polarization properties will require only 3×3 Mueller matrix, which would significantly reduce the complexity of the polarimetry imaging system. When additional parameters are needed to complement the two linear polarization parameters, retardance, circular depolarization, and depolarization can be included in classification in the order of preference. However, these additional parameters would require the measurement of 4×4 Mueller matrix. In addition, it appears that wavelength is not a critical factor in terms of classification accuracy for thin tissue sections in this study.
Absorption spectra and index of refraction of aminophenol compounds are obtained using Terahertz time-domain
spectroscopy (THz-TDS) in the frequency range between 0.3 and 2.0 THz at room temperature. Quantum chemical
calculations are performed to better understand the origin of the absorption features observed in experiments. Different
weight ratios of isomeric mixtures are analyzed by THZ-TDS with the help of linear regression technology. It is
concluded that THZ-TDS is able to identify the components and their relative percentage in isomeric mixtures.
Terahertz spectroscopy has tremendous potential for applications to evaluate the quality of the drugs including the TCM.
In this paper, the Terahertz Time-Domain Spectroscopy investigated two active ingredients: Andrographolide and
Dehydroandrographoline, isolated from Andrographis paniculata (Burm. f.) Nees. We also measured the mixtures of two
active ingredients at the different ratio and the quantitative analysis is also applied to determine the contents of
compound. The Terahertz spectroscopy is a potential and promising technique in identifying the components, evaluating
the drugs sanitation and inspecting the quality of medicine including TCM.
