Linear Dichroism (LD) Technology

Linear dichroism (LD) technology is a spectral technology used to study the function and structure of molecules. Linear dichroism can be measured by differences in light absorption parallel to or perpendicular to one orientation axis. Linear dichroism is a property of a material whose transmittance depends on the direction of the linearly polarized light incident on it. LD measurements are based on the interaction between light and matter and are a form of the electromagnetic spectrum. Nowadays, linear dichroism (LD) technology is mainly used in the study of biological polymers (such as DNA) and synthetic polymers.
