Holographic Spectroscopy: Wavelength-Dependent Analysis of Photosensitive Materials by Means of Holographic Techniques.

ABSTRACT: Holographic spectroscopy is highlighted as a powerful tool for the analysis of photosensitive materials with pronounced alterations of the complex permittivity over a broad range in the visible spectrum, due to the advances made both in the fields of advanced holographic media and highly tunable lasers systems. To analytically discuss consequences for in- and off-Bragg reconstruction, we revised Kogelnik's coupled wave theory strictly on the basis of complex permittivities. We extended it to comply with modern experimental parameters such as out-of-phase mixed holograms and highly modulated gratings. A spatially modulated, wavelength-dependent permittivity that superimposes a spatially homogeneous wavelength-dependent ground state spectrum is taken into account for signal wave reconstruction with bulky elementary mixed gratings as an example. The dispersion characteristics of the respective diffraction efficiency is modelled for color-center-absorption and absorption of strongly localized carriers. As an example for the theoretical possibilities of our newly derived set of equations, we present a quantitative analysis of the Borrmann effect connected to out-of-phase gratings, providing easier and more intuitive methods for the derivation of their grating parameters.

Project description:An improvement in the reliability and comparability of tissue characterization results is crucial for enabling further progress in cancer detection and the assessment of therapeutic effects. This can only be achieved by integrating quantitative methods into well-established qualitative characterization routines. This case study presents a hybrid metrological approach for tissue characterisation including vibrational Fourier Transform InfraRed (FTIR) spectroscopy and traceable reference-free X-Ray Fluorescence analysis (XRF). Through the combination of spatially resolved qualitative molecular information with quantitative elemental concentrations an all-encompassing sample characterisation can be provided. The study was performed on tissue sections of syngeneic murine pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma KPC (KrasG12D/+; Trp53R172H/+; Pdx-1-Cre) tumours ex-vivo. Sections from healthy pancreatic tissues, sham-exposed tumours and tumours subjected to low dose radiotherapy treatment (2 Gray and 6 Gray) were analysed using both methods. Additional sample integrity studies using Near Edge X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy at the carbon and nitrogen K-edges were performed to assess the effect of sample aging and XRF investigations on the samples. Results showed an increase in the concentrations of elemental biomarkers, including S, K and amide I structures in malignant pancreatic tissue compared to healthy pancreatic tissue. The exposure of tumours to 6 Gy radiation decreases the levels of these elements towards a phenotype seen in the healthy pancreas. A protocol for hybrid investigations is presented, with emphasis on the sample preparation, minimizing the impact of consecutive applied methods on their measurands, and ensuring the compatibility and reliability of achieved results. The study demonstrates the cancer recognition capabilities, and the sensitivity for low dosage radiotherapy treatment monitoring for each method individually and assesses the potential of combining molecular fingerprinting with non-destructive quantitative elemental information for tissue sample characterization.
