Wavelength domain

Fast Fourier Transformation is widely used in many fields of science, among them chemoractrics. The Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) algorithm transforms the data from the "wavelength" domain into the "frequency" domain. The method is almost compulsorily used in spectral analysis, e, g., when near-infrared spectroscopy data arc employed as independent variables. Next, the spectral model is built between the responses and the Fourier coefficients of the transformation, which substitute the original Y-matrix. 

Time, wavelength and added volume in the above-mentioned examples are the domains of the measurement. A chromatogram is measured in the time domain, whereas a spectrum is measured in the wavelength domain. Usually, signals in these domains are directly translated into chemical information. In spectrometry for example peak positions are calculated in the wavelength domain and in chromatography they are calculated in the time domain. Signals in these domains are directly interpretable in terms of the identity or amount of chemical substances in the sample. 

It may thus be necessary to calculate the Fourier transform of the measured signal to return to the domain of interpretation, here wavelength or wavenumber. In FTIR the signal is measured in the displacement domain 6 and transformed to the wavelength or wavenumber domain by a Fourier transform. Because the wavelength domain is the Fourier transform of the displacement domain, and vice versa, we say that the spectrum is measured in the Fourier domain. 

The CISs are rapidly becoming more popular and reliable as their field of application broadens. This is mainly due to the production of surface images by multipoint scanning and mapping. Hyperspectral imaging has proven its potential for qualitative analysis of pharmaceutical products and can be used when spatial information becomes relevant for an analytical application. Even if online applications and regulatory method validation require further development, the power of CIS in quality control and PAT needs no further demonstration, whatever the wavelength domain or method of spectra collection. 

Observations of the liver reveal an anatomically unique and complicated structure, over a range of length scales, dominating the space where metabolism takes place. Consequently, the liver was considered as a fractal object by several authors [4,248] because of its self-similar structure. In fact, Javanaud [275], using ultrasonic wave scattering, has measured the fractal dimension of the liver as approximately df 2 over a wavelength domain of 0.15-1.5mm. 

Concurrent with the development of suitable photodiode arrays, techniques were being developed for generating dispersion in both the time and wavelength domains. In 1970 it was observed (21) that focusing intense picosecond pulses into some solids and liquids produced superbroadened continua with band-widths of >10 cm l. It was also shown (22) that these "white light" pulses had durations on the order of the picosecond pulses which produced them. These continuum pulses have proven to be very useful for time-resolved spectroscopy.

The FWT basis malri.x. The fast wavelet transform (FWT) can be formulated in terms of matrix algebra by storing each of the wavelet functions in the time/wavelength domain in a matrix B. This matrix contains all the translations and dilations of the wavelet necessary to perform a full transform. One common way to organise this matrix is to sort the sets of shifted basis... 

This chapter demonstrates how the adaptive wavelet algorithm of Chapter 8 can be implemented in conjunction with classification analysis and regression methods. The data used in each of these applications are spectral data sets where the reflectance/absorbance of substances are measured at regular increments in the wavelength domain. 

FIGURE 1.8 The representation of energy spectral density per unit wavelength, for the black body, with high temperatures (such as for the Sun roughly about 6000 K) note that the curves at lower temperature have the same allure (at T = 300 K for Earth surface type, or at T = 2.7 K for the whole Cosmos) - with the modification of the wavelength domain the region of the visible spectmm lies between 380 and 750 nm (HyperPhysics, 2010 Putz, 2010). 

Lattice parameter. The length scale of a photonic crystal is closely related to the lattice constant of scattering building blocks. The working range of the photonic crystal in the wavelength domain is proportional to the lattice parameter (a).
