Laser-induced damage threshold test for interfacial analysis of lipid polymer membrane

Abstract

This paper describes a preliminary test for sum-frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy analysis of lipid polymer membranes. The SFG technique is used to analyze surface and structural information of molecules at gas-solid, gas-liquid, liquid-solid interfaces. A specially designed SFG system, which allows to analyze orientational polarization of polymer molecules at interfaces between a lipid polymer membrane and liquid/gas/solid, is being developed in our laboratory. A laser-induced damage threshold test of lipid polymer membranes was conducted in an early stage of this work.
