[Design and application of noninvasive tissue recognition imaging in tomography of human skin and crystal structure].

Cosmetic industry grows fast in recent years. To reveal the image of dermal structure, it is necessary to apply three-dimensional medical imaging technology. To reduce the invasiveness of laser source on tissues, tissue recognition imaging is proposed to retrieve the intrinsic optical property, namely, the reflection spectrum of every scanned point for imaging.

Probing field-induced submolecular motions in a ferroelectric liquid crystal mixture with time-resolved two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy.

Time-resolved two-dimensional infrared (2D IR) spectroscopy has been applied to analyse an electro-optic switching ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) mixture. The 2D IR correlation technique clearly shows that the Goldstone mode in the SmC* phase is suppressed by an applied electric field. The field-induced reorientation process initiates from intramolecular motions in about 10 µs.
